Keyport Seahawk - Dinksville, USA; population: INFINITY!!

Was the title too blunt? ...ok, we had a lot of action and weeded through the shorts to put some fish in the box :rolleyes:

every spot we went to on opening day was just overflowing with shorts. couldn't get away from them. on bottom, up higher, didn't really matter. I used my jig all day and it saved me time unhooking smaller fish but only landed 1 extra keeper vs. John using the bait rigs and nabbing plenty of porgy in the process.

To make it worse while i was switching back and forth to tog fishing, I lost an absolute monster that had head shakes like a jack hammer and wouldn't come off the structure...broke me off on said structure. Brand new leader line was frayed to crap top to bottom, i think it was a sunken cargo ship for swords r' us...probably going with #50 fluoro leader next time!

And then to end the day we found the albies but they wouldn't hit anything for anyone we saw out there...probably because they'd been beaten to a froth for two days straight haha

....oh well not complaining, just a real truth report... back on em next weekend!

totally opposite from the day before and the other weekend...I they must've been eating bigger or smaller bait, i think they get really keyed in on bait size. saw a pic of a guy with a 5-6in lure in an albie's mouth from sunday, maybe that was the key? we only tried smaller stuff, couldn't get a good look at what the bait was so assumed they were real tiny stuff, but maybe not idk. they get pretty finicky sometimes i guess.

Was out Friday afternoon. Huge school's of albies everywhere. Started off with 005's no luck. Then switched to 007's and got a few but a lot of casting between fish.
