Not a hit. We were in the spot but no one was doing much after 7:00am which is about the same time as we started fishing. We ran into some THICK fog on the way out and on the way back (50-100' vis at times) but it cleared for the mid part of the day. Never saw monomoy because of the fog. The whale show was non-stop for the enitre day, it was worth the ride just for that.
At one point one appeared next to the boat and cut behind the boat right thru our trolling spread. A bird and green machine dragged over his back.
I though we were going to hook up with the big one but luckly there was enough water rushing off the whales back that the lure was just washed off.
Whales aside, IMO the bite is just not on out there. There are few around but for all the boats out there the number of fish caught was miniscule. If you go be there on the grounds by 4:30am, what little bite is there is over by 7:00am. For me to be there by 4:30 I need to leave at 2:00-2:30 and that just is not going to happen.
