"Its Been a While" Offshore Wrecking
« on: November 30, 2014, 11:15:59 AM »
Had my first chance to fish since starting the new job way back in July.  Jumped on a NS from PP with Ray to hope and load the freezers before winter.

Flat out, best offshore bottom trip I ever had!  We got started at 5AM after a 5 hour steam to the grounds. First and only drop of the day was all we needed.

Slow pick in the dark moved onto a steady drop and reel at sunup. Small blues, knuckle head cbass, porgies, a few Pollack and a nice trigger rounded out our catch. Very few doggies, I'd say less than a dozen total around the boat.

Clam and squid were the ticket. Switched to a 6 oz diamond after limiting out and was still pulling up cbass,porks and small blues easily!

Called it quits early as everyone had enough.  Nice to have a day like this every now and then!!

Sounds like a good voyage to the grounds and good catch while there.  t^

NICE TRIP TT^
A good day of fishing is better than a bad day of fishing. A bad day of fishing is better than a good day of work. That means work sucks!

Thanks boys!  Good trip for sure.

On a side note, not a fan of Porks.  Took a few to try and fillet up.  These boys were 3 lb dinner plates so easy to cut up.  Good stuff. Bone free and tasty.
