Wow, hard to believe I have not been fishing in almost a year!
Well finally got out to do some fishing this past Friday.
Forecast was 10 - 15K with 5 - 6' seas spaced 11 seconds apart.
Sounded good to me. I love big spaced out waves ... usually
they are super gentle ... the "rock you to sleep kind".
Anyhoo, I left Fort Washington round bout 3am and got down
there close to 6am. Talked to Tucker at the boat in the pitch
black and then proceeded to load my gear. I am getting like
a woman now with all my crap ... must have had 4 bags for
an 8 hour trip.
Well the 5-6' waves were about right
but the spacing was a tad bit off ... eff that they were way
the heck off. It was VERY rough out there. Monty stayed in
close (only went out about 3-4 miles at most). We fished
a few inshore wrecks which were loaded with undersized seabass.
I stuck with crabs and managed to catch a nice 2-3 pound keeper
tog at the first spot and about 3-4 throw backs. Fishing was slow
for the next 2 hours or so and I was beat so I took an hour power
nap in the cabin. Felt much better after that and went out
on the next stop. Caught about 5 more baby tog and the pool
winner on the next spot (8.5 pounder). A few keeper seabass
were coming up here also. After this drop Monty decided to call
it a day a few hours early since the seas were still building.
Caught my MD limit (2) and got in a nice nap. I would call it
a good day.
