monday report

i've been laying low since the baby was born, and just doing short trips here and there. yesterday we had a chance to put in a little time and got a little of everything. we launched @ 2:30 and went looking for some pogies. along the way we found some bass and a few blues tearing up small bait. the action lasted an hour and we took blues to 10# and bass to 15#. we searched around for pogs through dawn and had no luck at my usual spots. there was rainbait every where and a lot of snapper blues around. we found some birds and some finicky scoolies and played w/ them for awhile. the sun was coming up quick so we headed out of the harbor and made a run to the bank. as soon as we get there there were birds, whales and bait balled up. took a few shots at them and it all ended quick. fish were popping up here and there and we did a little run and gun routine w/ no joy. these fish were smaller 60# class tunas, nice spinning rod canidates. we went east a bit looking for groundfish. after a few drops we found a good drift and started pulling cod, cusk, redfish. the redfish were like scup and it was tough to keep them off long enough to get cod. the cod fishing was a slow steady pick of fish above 10# with an occassional short mixed in. my shoulders were burning and we called it a day. big fish of the day was a 21# cod. i've never caught that many redfish before, they have like a 100% mortality rate

Thanks for the bank report. I hope to get my family out there for some codfishing one of these summer weekends and it is good to hear they are out there all summer.

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.
