Today we had Scott, Ed, Doug, Matt, Andy and John for those toggies. Headed to the first drop and in seconds Ed puts a 9+ in on the first bite. Things were looking like some suicide blackfish were in town. Hung out for a while picking both shorts and keepers. The wind turned on and had to wiggle around.
Few wiggles and the same bite. Scratch here, scratch there or one slam and cleaned off. Definitely not the bite we thought it was gonna be. Stuck around in the same area making minor anchor adjustments and resets, again picking here and there.
Later in the day we went inshore a bit and tried for some more. Only picked a few keeps here, some shorts and we found the dogs. Tried for the boat limit, but came up 2 fish short, pulling the plug after 4:30pm.
Most of the fish were pretty solid. Ed had the first fish and the biggest. Andy had one over 8, plus his limit+. Matt finally washed off the skunk with almost a double limit, Scott caught a few nice ones too. Doug and John also had a limit or close to it.
Couldnt ask for a nicer day on the water. Beautiful weather for January!
Ended the day with 30 solid keepers.
Thanks again fellas!

Belmar Blackfish & Cod 1/5

Had an open blackfish trip today with Matt, Jeff, Rob, Sal and Aj. Headed north in the icy boat for the first drop. Started off where they have been chewing. Very slow scratchy bite for most of the morning. Picked keepers, dogs and tons of shorts. Looked like a lot of life. Sal pulled a nice 6# on his 2nd tog trip ever.
Made a move out to sgr hoping for a better bite. The fan turned on to 25kn and 3ft seas. Wasnt making it any easier for us. Pulled a few keepers dogs and shorts here too. Matt had a nice 8lb cod and Rob also got a nice one. Aj has his limit. Jeff, hes still learning, he had 1 or 2.
Another day of blackfish not cooperating. Covered some ground, but couldnt finish the job. Ended up with 11 tog to 6# and 2 cod to 8#.
Thanks again guys.
