[Ocean Explorer]

1-10-13 A little bit of rain this morning tapered off late and it dried out for us..Ocean was flat calm again,,water temps offshore hovering around 41 degrees today..The big Blackfish were in the mood today and we got into some real nice fish as soon as we set up this morning....Within second of dropping down on the first drop we had fish chewing...mixed bag of both shorts and keepers up 12 lbs..Nothing fast and furious but good life most of the day,,,in the end we had a decent spread of blackfish around the boat for a decent size crowd,,,good portion of guys(not everyone) had between 2-4 keeper Togs and the two biggest fish of the day will be weighed in for the pool on the dock..They are some nice ones up around 11-12 pounds..Check em out in the first two pics below.I was happy to see the fish have the feed bag on,,,we did not catch any Cod today but the ling were there if you wanted em,,,most were fishing for Tog today but I saw quite a few caught around the boat..WE are heading back out tomorrow,,,See ya for coffee in the morning....pics..
