Today's target was was groundfish, and we covered a lot of water, from west of the bank to east, and north to south of the bank tuna of all sizes were busting, but not taking. Well east of the bank, we found a nice tight drift that let us get our fill of cod, get a couple haddock, pollock and cusk, less than half the fish were shorts, so not to bad.
With tuna still busting all around, we tried a big pollock under a balloon, and I was introduced to my first blue shark, I'd never have thought a 30" cod fights better than a 7ft shark, but it does.. All in all , the fishing and weather was great, but the wind did make it a little sloppy for the ride home.
