1-17-14 We made our way in nice conditions this morning...Light southwest breeze,,chilly but nice..I noticed the water temp dropped two degrees from yesterday out where we have been fishing..Down to 39..Thought it might be tough bite to start but I blew the horn on the first drop and the starboard side of the boat had blackfish chewing almost immediately..It developed in to a decent bite for some,,actually our pool winner Jimmy in the first picture below caught his limit of blackfish pretty quick...The bite slowly died out eventually and we moved around and tried different areas,,,,caught some shorts,,some keepers but nothing good...Pretty dull life most of the day...In the end after putting in a long day and trying different areas some guys caught some fish and some did not.,,High hook had four keeper Togs,,,,few guys had three keepers,some two and one but most of the fish today were caught only on the starboard side for some reason and around the back..The port side for whatever reason just could not get going...Roy was the only one on the portside that really got into some fish,,he ended up with three keepers and some shorts....Few ling here and there but not many....Check out some pics,,,tomorrow looks good again,,see ya for coffee in the morning..pics.
