Not Kane. Going out with Monty. Both guys run all winter weather permitting. Kane is pretty much booked up and Monty only does Open boat when weather forecast permits. Kane probably has some openings for charters in April and early may. We had 18 pounder with him at the end of April last year.

Alex
According to my calendar that 18 pounder was caught on May 9th. I've had the pleasure of fishing with Don again twice this month on Tagged Fish. Man can he talk.

Headed down south to OC in search of Tog Heaven. Weather could not have been better as sun was shining and seas were calm. Had high expectations as always. Started off ok with 2 nice keepers with first fish at 8.6 lbs on my digital scale. Unfortunetly that is how my day ended with 2 keepers which is my worst date keeper wise to date. My first fish was leading the pool all day until last half hour when a 9 + and then a 25 inch 12+ lb female took home the prize after she was measured and released
Pool on this boat is by length and not weight which gives angler the option to release fish after measurement has been taken with minimill handling. Wish more boats would run pool this way. Total count for 13 anglers I believe was 17 keepers. Many other good toggers took home the skunk. You always have a shot of a PB down there but it is typical on some days to fish all day and get 2-3 bites. Wish I could have reported better catch with some nice pictures but it was not meant to be. Welcome to winter togging

I know what you mean Alex. One of the toughest days I've ever seen on Jerry's boat too. Poor John worked his tail off today taking care of the anchors while Jerry kept looking for a bite for us. Maybe the incoming front had something to do with it? Who knows. If only the tog could tell us.

If you try to figure it out when fish will bite and why you would just drive yourself crazy. If Jerry could not find them they were just not going to bite that day regardless where you went. On our trip once you got a bite they chewed hard as it was not a scratchy bite. The problem was you had very few bites to swing at. I had 4 bites. Caught 2 dropped one 1/4 of the way up and shaved one of as my 60 pound leader just cut of clean on high piece.

Hi Alex, You sum up our whole trip pretty accurately. You had to make every bite count because one didn't get many. I didn't hit any Home runs or Pull any like you and Frank did but I sure would wished I had a chance to swing on some of yours n his bites. lol I hit a few infield hits, went 5 for 5 on keepers and one check swing. lol As always, it was fun to fish with you!

Wilson,

A blind squirrel finds a nut every once in awhile. Not sure who that guy is but he sure is handsome

Alex Great story and recap of your year. I enjoyed reading it. I hope this is the year I get to fish with you.
