awful sea bass opener

[bulletbob]

For me anyway,- and for lots of others on the head boat I was on.. Several skunks, and lots of ones or twos... Ground swell all day.. You dropped a high low rig down with clam, and soaked it, moved it around, and 15 minutes later up it came intact, not even bergal bit.. Never saw sea bass so negative.. Fished hard all day, with clam, Gulp, frozen peanut bunker and my tally for the day was an 11 inch ling and one skinny 12 1/2 inch sea bass... Oh and a Pout and keeper size tog that went back.. Capt worked his butt off. I mean he really put the heartfelt effort in, but the fish either weren't there, or just refused to hit. One guy did get 6 I think, but it was a terrible day for most of us on a packed boat. Not bitching, it was just not the day for the boat I went out on. I was going to go to another port, but didn't, but that turned out to be a bad choice as some of the boats reported better fishing than we had..Been a while since I hit the right day.. Hope it happens soon.. Can't complain I guess. One keeper is better than none.. Water looked awful as well.. Brownish with a nasty looking slime on top in some spots... bob
