On Sunday 6/19 hosted the Tim Stanek Party for Father's Day Bass and Blues. Filled the well quickly and then went right to where we had the fish the day before. Well from there, all I can say is what a difference a day makes. After yesterday's Bluefish invasion, I would have bet everything that we would have had another killer day with the Bluefish.
They guys managed 3 Blues and missed a bunch of run-offs before things went cold. Spent the next few hours searching for signs of life with only one more Blue, sharks and skates to show for our efforts.
Tried to make it happen covering over 50 miles of ocean. Should have pulled the plug and went Fluking in hindsight. First Bass donut of the season is hard to swallow, the lack of Blues made it even harder. Once at the dock of course I got a call to run down the beach...
With the good comes the bad and as another captain once said to me after a bad outing, today I know how it felt to be the Bug instead of the windshield.
