last trip was bust
Headed out of the harbor at 2:30 am, loaded with eels and high hopes, I noticed the flag at the shipyard was straight out, wind was supposed to be 5 mph. I get out of the shelter of the harbor and its blowing like hell, 2-3 ft waves in the bay. I made a half hearted attempt to keep going and then turned around, not fun fishing against the rocks and I figured it'd only get worse as I went to the mouth of the bay. Flush the engine and figured I'd dunk seem eels at a breachway. I make down and by this time its 4am. Tide wasnt doing what I wanted so I made a few casts, dumped out my stash of eels and left. Headed back to Mass, got in around 6pm and jumped in bed, with the time change, that was exact time for the kids to get up and jump in with me. No sleep for me.
So 5 hrs out, 10 minutes of fishing and Im done for the season.
Its been a fun year but I was hoping to end on a better note.
Lame weather forecast, I should have went yesterday.
