The word on the water was that today was going to be sloppy, three people all told me that. They were wrong or they don't know what sloppy means. The Atlantic Ocean was really honking with a SW breeze and 2-4 foot waves;). We barely took any water over the rail.:p
Fishing was good. Not everyone caught on today. Diamond jigs, the lure we were told rocks, did not work well, the commercial guys did their wire snapping and we switched to topwater plugs, as birds and breaking fish dictated,. The Bomber mambo minnow was great, as was a big yellow popper.
We worked a pretty large area from 45-60 feet deep . We fished with the armada for a little while, then fished away from them.
However we caught 2 nice keeper stripers 30-32" for the family, some shorts, and about 7 blues, up to 12 lbs or so. We would have stayed longer but the steering pump died and I only had enough steering fluid for the trip home.:wall:
