The 7/11 skunk
« on: July 12, 2010, 10:02:43 AM »
My godfather finally got his Coast Guard certification, so it was time for him to captain the old V20 and for me to sit back and relax for once haha.  Motored out of Keyport at 8:30 and headed out around the hook and about 3 miles offshore.  Some serious swells out there had me nervous with him at the helm, but he managed ok.  Finally hit our spot and picked a Sea Robin with my first drop.  Unfortunately that would be the last action we'd see. 

We picked up and tried the crowd around Flynn's, no luck.  Was a real nice boat sitting about 20 yards inshore on the beach though  fcp

Moved on to the 11a and tried a few drifts...nothing.  To the hole....nothing.  The round shoal.....nothing.  The Keyports flats....NADA!!! 

We burned alot of gas for no fish, but Jack got some good experience at the helm on a beautiful day!
The cure for everything is salt water: sweat, tears, and the sea.

Ok, I see it's not only me and my nephew Luna Sea having a tough time so far this year finding the keepers. Same results we had Sat. 1 keeper fluke and 1 hugh 15lb bluefish.

Poor fishing yesterday.  I saw the boat on the beach too, just inside the rip.  Better luck next time.

Slow day for us as well, was great to be out though! Get em next time!
Give a man a fish, and he can eat for a day. But teach a man how to fish, and he'll be dead of mercury poisoning inside of three years.
