BF yes 16 fish smallest 15# largest 24# I had eels but could not get a hit so I started throwing plugs. Nothing on a popper, nothing on swimers, same on most rubber then I put on a deadly#^&#^&#^&#^& and it was a fish on every cast for two hours till I left do to the fog. What a great night to bad the fog came in or I would have stayed the night.Other boats came around but not close enough to see what I was doing they would just shoot right on by and threw the hole.I did get the largest fish at the end on a PNG swimmer he gave me at the Mass. four leg last month

thanks Chris.

Awesome GB, wish I was there.
I would have put on a weightless sluggo and ripped it across the surface, the action is just like a sandeel swimming for it's life.

My buddy is over there now with his wife, wish he could have seen that too but I bet he didn't even fish.

Fished the islands saturday morning but the fog really limited my ability to fish it effectively. We could hear fish busting near the shoreline but sounded like schoolies.

The fog stayed from daybreak until noon...when I scramed out of there. It was like fishing with blindfolds on. But we did manage a couple decent fish.

i was at the canal and i have never seen fog as think as it was, couldnt even see the lights on the other side of the ditch. fish were cooperating till the fog moved in, dont think it was the fog, more a tide issue.

Thanks for the Call

Mike what would you like me to call you BLUEFISH KING

.You know me I looked at my watch at 6:00 pm and said I think I should be over to Cuttyhunk right now so I did. Back home in bed by 10:00 thanks to the fog. Took 20 minutes to get there and an hour to get back. Had a tug with barge in tow answer my call as I was crossing the bay. Glad he called back with his location as it would have been close if I had not slowed to let him get passed me.

GB:

Was the "Fisherman's Dream" still stranded on half mile rock when you went out last evening?

The boat was a 65' scalloper that ran up onto the rocks at 5AM Sunday. They were hoping to pull it off at high tide.

Greg, I saw that south of the harbor at a certain big arse rocky point last two trips out, feeding on small bait on top, just slurping. I had to go 6" half jerk, unweighted on a 5/0 hook and that really made the difference while they were up top. In fact I had some killer blowups on it, which was a plus for sure.
