Reel Class 7/10-7/13 Reports

[Reel Class]

Been VERY busy and haven't had a chance to put up reports from the last couple of trips, so in summary, this is what's gone on:

Wed 7/10: FTYP trip - ran to the northeast where we had them Tuesday, and only found a few. S wind was screaming, ocean was building, and drift was FAST. Only managed 2 keepers (one was an 8# by Kenny) so we bounced around, finally fishing some spots S of our inlet only picking shorts and skates. Fishing was terrible and we got in just ahead of the t-storms with only 2 in the box

Thurs 7/11: cod-ling trip to the 15-30 mile wrecks was postponed b/c of the SW wind. Good thing I heard it was nasty out there!

Fri 7/12: FTYP cancelled -- NE 15-20, 'nuff said.

Saturday 7/13: Half-day seabass trip with Jim and his boys. Fished very local, and surprisingly found a good amount of life despite a crazy NE current and moderate heave from yesterday's NE. Picked and plucked, and in 3.5 hour we had about 20-25 keepers in the box to 2.5# plus one ling, and one VERY LUCKY 16" blackfish that swam away. Nice morning with a great group of guys!
