Had our third FTYP trip of the summer. Had Juicebox aka "Double limit" Bob, George "Dubya", Bud, John, and Brian aboard for a day of fun in the sweltering 90+ degree heat.
Ran up north again. A light NNW breeze and a N current were pushing us along nicely. First drop was immediate action with a load of shorts, a few seabass, and one keeper. Subsequent drifts yielded the same, but once the wind flopped just a bit, the bite turned on. We had a few drifts where we had 2-4 keepers, and a couple with none.
By around noon time the wind completely dropped out and the current slacked, so the bite shut off almost completely. By 1:30 though, we were able to get a breeze going again and we got a slowish pick going again.
Bounced around all afternoon, just piecing it together until we headed for the barn a little after 3.
A good spread of fish all over the place, mixed in sizes. Bob got one @ 7#, George nailed a nice 6#, and we also had a couple in the 4-5# range. Most of the other keepers were in that 19-21" bracket. We wound up with a total of 17 keepers in the box, with Bob being high hook and taking the big fish of the day. No keeper seabass today.
All fish were caught on bucktail/teaser combos. Overall it was a solid, steady pick all day with some shots being better than others. Another great crew also, its always good havin' "Dubya" and my favorite puller on board
Thanks guys!!!
