Plans were to just make a few loops in the speed zone of MB to see how my motor fixes went. After two laps, I needed something better to test it with, so I headed out front. Not too soon later the motor sputtered and went back to a crawl. GRRRR!!!!!!!
I was about to head home after getting out before grey light, but decided to call Vessel Assist if need be as I wanted to make this trip worth it. I caught at least 4 dozen Spanish Mack in no time. The kelp is full of them right now!
I started throwing the iron when I saw a few BIG yellows chasing the iron, but not committing. I then was preparing to toss out the flylined mack when I saw some deep marks on definitive yellows or WSB. I attached a weight really fast and dropped down to actually see the bite on the sonar even before I felt it! BAM!!!
Beautiful long fight ensued and I brought this toad up to gaff!
I kept seeing balls of bait and fish off the bottom and was perplexed as they were not hitting the iron. I made a dropper loop and the carnage began!
Every drop had a lingcod... or one that let go half way up!
The small legals were still legal.
Taking weird shots as I just wanted to drop again as it was instantaneous hook ups!
I burned through 30 Spanish macks just on Lingcod....
Lost count of fish, but here was my Biggy of the day!
My Remote button lost power, so I had to use the phone after a while. Those Lings were THICK!
Great day on the water even though I wanted to put some 00 Buck Shot into the motor for crapping out on me. No matter, I'm bringing home 34+ pounds of meat home tonight! Until then, the Boma is out of commission until I get her fixed.
I think I've said that a few times already...
Until next tide!
