Better from the yak with 4 keepers this year only kept one.All small bass and small blues from the shore though. This my first year with the yak if i didn't have it I would have to say this would have been my worst year for keepers ever.Allthough I haven't chunked or used live bait all year except eels twice.
I don't mean to be a wet blanket but I am having the best year I have EVER had. better than the 70s on the Cape. I don't know how many fish I have over 20. 100? 200?
10 fish over 30#. All on livelining bunker. Some days you get to the point where you say that this is "stupid fishing".
I do have to hunt for the fish as they are not everywhere at the sizes I am catching. I have been getting up at 2 every morning, snagging by 4-4:30 AM and then running to several spots where the large have been holding. I have had 1 skunk in all my trips since April.
BTW, YES I do have a job and work everyday. Not a hell of a lot of sleep but you can sleep in the Winter.
