Default Not so great blackfish opener

Fished with my friend Roy and a couple other guys out of the Highlands. Started the day with a couple of short stripers around the hook but these fish were moving fast and disappeared within 5 minutes.

Anchored down south and started with a slow blackfish bite and mostly shorts. Pretty much was the same thing for us all day. Even when we tried some deeper water it was 90% shorts. We ended the day with just 5 keepers and nothing of any size either. A couple of nice seabass too. Stayed out til around 4:30 too. Hoped for some bass on the way in but luck was not on our side.

Whatever you do, dont fish next to Joey! Or be daring and fish next to him, cause he luck most times rubs off on others and he doesn't catch squat!

What was I think? Yes green crabs are definitely the preferred bait
