First trip in July out east with Matt/Mike we took one fish on a bar.

Trip 2, I went with Buckman with the Keeper along side us and helped Steve put the first fish in his boat. We ended the day catching 4..

Trip 3, I took the kids fishing and we took 1. They wanted to call the day and go codfishing.

Trip 4 & 5 went with Buckman and the Keeper and caught 2 more each trip. All the fish out east were taken on bars and trolling first light was the key.

September came and I started fishing the bank. On the 6th trip we took one fish on a bar fishing in 5 to 6 footers, tough fishing.

Trips 7-12 we hit them hard catching anywhere from 2 to 5 fish each trip. All fish were caught on a sluggo or Ronz. The fish were hitting at slack.

The final trip I made it back out with Buckman and the Keeper and we caught 2 more, one on a sluggo the other on a X-rap.

All and all a great year, Zero skunks and about 30 fish caught.
