Its true that the conditions (6' E swell) were sluggish on Sunday's trip (2-24), and that there were lots of dogs and snakes.
But - this is a great way to for me to thank the Captain for a solid effort! We moved from spot to spot all day and there were plenty of ling to be had. I know this as I caught 15 ling. So kudos to the crew for putting us on the meat!
It just didn't turn out that way for everyone due to poor conditions (especially after 1:00 when it was wind against tide). Another reason was the boat was loaded with lot's of Father/Son teams, and 35% of the folks on board had rental rods.
While I caught fifteen, the next best was the guy on my right with 6 ling. Guy on my left had 1, and the three guys to the left of him had 4 fish total (1 a nice bergall). Only one cod came up and that took the pool.
Not saying I am the greatest fisherman, just experienced enough to deal with poor conditions and still catch.
Lesson learned - take these posts/reports with a grain of salt. A captain isn't going to come out and tell you that his passengers that day were a bunch of landlubbers!
So thanks for a (great for me) day! Big fish fry at my house tonight!
