1st Keeper!!
Finally, I landed my first Keeper in Boston Harbor on Saturday! After catching about a dozen cod and half a dozen flounder I started trolling a tube in worm combo. It was 1:30, dead low tide, sun High in the sky and hot as heck. I was using lead core line and was trolling the tube approx 25' down in 30-35' of water.
I knew that the chances of a strike where slim but we needed a breeze in our face since it was so darn hot saturday afternoon. I thought for sure that the tube snagged bottom as Line ripped off the reel until I put it in neutral. The fish made a run straight at the boat, I couldn't reel fast enough to keep up the slack. Once the fish was about 15' from the boat she made a run in the other direction.
After a few minutes we netted the fish and measured her. Yes, it was a keeper....30" and yes we did keep 'er and had a barby on Sat. night. MMMMMM good.
The funny thing is, my wife thought we will be doing less fishing now that I finally caught a keeper.....you all know what happens now right???
Tight lines!
