Ocean Explorer Saturday

[Ocean Explorer]

4-5-14 Really pretty morning,,just a ground swell out of the east but a nice ride out to the grounds..Not much life again out in the mudhole,,we made a few drops and caught a few ling,,,3-4 small codfish and a few eels...The winds started howling out of the Northwest by noon and it got kinda cranky out there..On the way out for the first time all winter I noticed the water warmed up a bit inshore,,the balance has finally changed and its warmer inshore that offshore...38 in the mudhole,,and 42 inshore...finally looks like spring is coming...but regardless I took a chance and ran in on the way home to try a drop in 60ft.of water to look for some life...The water was warmer,,42 degrees and we had bites pretty quick..I did see a few small blackfish and the bergalls were chewing,,really good sign after such a cold winter....the current was ripping as well so it was tough on alot of the newer fisherman,,,,,, I think tomorrow we can do even better and are gonna head back out to the same grounds to start and look to get into some blackfish early on,,,might see some ling as well in there since its that time of year for them to come inshore to spawn...Either way it looks real good for tomorrow,,,we have both crabs and soft baits on board,,dont be afraid to bring some shrimp as well if you want to catch some blackfish...See ya for coffee in the morning!!
