Voyager Saturday

[ytuna]

Started fishing very early in the dark. I had a slow pick of biscuits and a good shot of porgies. Guys using a very low hook on a long leader (think blackfish rig) were doing better. Then the sun came up. Game on. By 8:30 AM the boat was limited on biscuits and porgies.

I saw one double header of a 30+ pollock and a big biscuit.

Back at the dock at 2 PM.

Great trip.

Glad you guys got out and beat the weather.
Sound like a great trip.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but he has already cancelled tonite and tomorrow night's trip.

One other thought, I started with a small pink squid (B2B type) as a teaser. I was losing a lot of baits to porgies with the teaser. I went to a naked hook and had fewer porgy bites and more Cbass hookups.

on Friday I was using 4" curly tail grubs for seabass and the porgies attacked them instead. every time I came up they were tailless so I went bare with just Clams. The porgies were so aggressive I went up to a 7/0 hooks and was still catching them.
best bet is 5/0 -6/0 hook witha large clam piece, let the porgies peck till you get the seabass thump.. for the porgies a 2/0 with a small pc of clam and set the hook.
