Paramount Monday Marathon

[tautog]

Went out with a pretty good crowd today including Blackback Doug. Dock fluking was NFG though I did hear of snappers and small stripers there Sunday evening. Most of the day was a slow pick. We had a hard current with light wind so anchoring and fishing was a bit challenging. Towards mid day we came up on a lobster pot and there was a gigantic leatherback turtle, 500lbs plus, all tangled up in the line. Customers and crew alike worked to haul him closer to the boat so lines could be cut. He swam away with some line still wrapped around his shell. Hopefully we'll get some of the video shot for this report.

Last stop of the day was pretty decent with ling and some nice flounder. I wound up with 2 flounder and 16 ling. Blackback Doug had a flounder, a sea bass and 10 ling. Regular Bob won the pool with a 4lb flounder and he had 2 flounder, a sea bass and 12 ling. A guy near us probably had around 15 ling but he did not count and I wasn't going cooler diving. Most had some good eats and an interesting nature show.
