Met up Steve for a morning mission.... Find some Triggerfish. I wanted to try something I normally don't use outside from fishing from shore.
Morning was a bit breezy, but didn't cause much of a problem and thankfully laid down in no time.
Generally, the fishing was pretty slow and we had to work hard to find fish. normally, we would have caught a few dozen bass at minimum, but not this day. The only bass was caught by Steve and we literally tried/fished at least 10 spots all morning.
Steve had the honor of being the Sculpin King with a few really nice rattlers!
I had a problem... like a sheepshead problem.... lol
I seriously caught and released a dozen of them Even Squatch's secret Sheepshead rig could'nt get one. He did manage a few other critters like this brownie.
I had quite the variety today, but the best catch for me was getting my target species! Big old triggerfish box was checked!
I ended up with Treefish, limits of successfully released Vermillion Reds, Browns, Blacksmith, and something else I think besides the trigger.
The Gulp 2" and 3" shrimp were the ticket! Only thing was that triggers and sheepshead can really waste expensive Gulp baits in a hurry!
Fun day on the water indeed, but it sounded pretty quiet on the radio. I'll be looking forward to Rockfish season reopening!
Thanks for reading!
