Overall Poor blackfishing

[teddysclaw]

Does anyone else feel like blackfishing has sucked this year? I mean, yeah, if you bring white leggers, asians, and jigs, you tend to catch at least one keeper. But i'm talking about overall. THe past few years, I'd see on average 20 keeper blackfish per party boat. This season? Not one trip I've been on has caught over 15 keepers on the boat.

And the keepers that are being caught aren't that impressive. I've yet to see a 6+ pound poolfish. Yeah,yeah. I know you guys on the small boats/charters/etc get the 10+ slob and release them, but your chances of getting a slob are a lot higher on a smaller boat with less fishermen.

Are we waiting for colder weather? Pretty disappointed so far this year. Hopefully it turns on soon.
