Re: Blackfish.. bad luck or bad numbers?
mvp, thanks for the reply.. I am basing my post on the one or 2 trips a year I have done in the past 10 or so years, not just yesterday.. you show days in the past month where you had 19 keepers.. I have been on trips where there weren't that many on the entire boat.. You also described a 4 keeper day as a very tough bite.. From my experience in the past 10 years, 4 keepers would be banner day.. That 4 keeper total was the best total I have witnessed by za single fare on a head boat in years.. Caught by a guy alongside me in the bow last dec. He had 4 I had 3, and we split the pool, and for me based on the previous decade or so, it was a banner day.. I think besides those 7 keepers only 3 others were caught on the entire boat with maybe 15 guys aboard.. Most caught none, and never had a single bite. Yesterday at least most fares had a fish or 2... Based on your totals, I am certainly just going on the wrong days.. Its been a VERY long time since I have seen blackfishing as you describe.. I hope thats what I get into next trip!... bob
