Merry Marlin 2-20 Fishing report

[merry marlin]

Had to find an excuse to go to the coast with the nice weather so this time we told the boss we had to clean up after the snow smashed the pines!!!! Downeast trees must be used to wind but not that white stuff...
Headed out with a soft NW wind in a straight line from the Jetty to the NE Corner cutting through 3/4 of the flat shoals...
Doesn't happened often!
49F water a mile inshore of the 90 jumping to 61 within a mile! Got to the Rock and put lines in 71F water. Didn't take long to hit a double getting us excited only to release a pair of albies. The tide was ripping and no bait was to be found. An hour later a pair of small blackies came onboard and that was it!!!! Left for home before 11.00 with the goal of doing some bass fishing. Stopped in a hundred Feet and understood why Biscoto's and Slips favorite fish both brown and red are closed at this time of the year...... Amazing and Amazed!!! We moved on.
Headed to the P bouy to finish loading on the black bass.
They were there but so were the dogfish. Another amazing site to see them come up 2 by 2 accompanied by 3 or 4 others...Is this mating time or what! Took one home to see what they taste like!
Anyway, not much of a report but a beautiful day to run the engines...
No wahoo for us but BSB's will be on the grill this week!!!

lightly battered and fried, a touch of malt vinegar, some fries and you have good old English Fish& Chips.

Glad you could get out.

Well its been a while since I have gotten on the site and the first thing I see is your still pulling the bottom up. Great to see you had a beautiful day and hopefully things will turn around up here so I can join you on the water.

Don't forget the tarter sauce

Nice report. I saw you guys out by the Yancy when you pulled the riggers in. We didn't find much there, but, we went deep, fought the current and ended up with some big triggers, tons of big aj's and a nice snowy grouper. We loaded up the seabass early on the way out, we had almost 50 in the box in the first 1.5 hours, and, beautiful flounder all before we left to go deep at 9:00 am. We checked out by SBH then worked our way up to the Yancy, and then headed way east after seeing you guys.

I saw your rig sitting in your driveway this evening after video taping the sunset over Marshallberg Harbor.

Glad you got a chance to make a run Jacques, Beautiful weather this weekend and we deserved it!
Days are getting a little longer and it's only a matter of time before the stream hugs the coast again, Bradford pears go to blooming and all will be right again.

We were almost neighbors. I tried to buy the house on the corner of Straits Rd. last year. It was the one up on stilts that was newly built. I called my real estate agent and gave her the go ahead to submit my offer and she called me back saying that there was another offer that was given earlier that morning that the seller accepted. Close , but no cigar.
