Finally had another weather window to put a trip together again. The action started off okay in the morning with a pick of school sized cod on bait but it wasn't what we were really hoping for. Midday the gates opened and the ocean came alive with breaching whales, porpoise, sharks, birds, and bait being chased. Sure enough the cod and pollock woke up as well, beginning with my buddy Nick who was squidding with an H4L Mungus jig and found himself tied into a 30LB cod that was followed to the surface by another cod just as big! The bites started coming faster, all on jigs, and soon the pollock took over with one, two, three on at a time with 25-35LB class pollock. I had the chance to break in my custom Black Hole 80g built to perfection by Mike Garone and it was a blast battling the bruiser pollock on that little setup. The perfect fun rod! Eventually we found ourselves in release mode with cod to 30LBS and pollock to 35LBS and decided to leave them biting.
