December 13th
Captain Cole reported a decent catch on the blackfish grounds. We didn’t know what to expect after the past few days of heavy wind and seas.. We tried some shallow spots and the water temperature dropped a few degrees and it was a very slow bite. We went deeper to look for the bigger tog. We had fish up to 10 pounds just not many of them. We found some hungry sea bass and a few cod mixed in with the tog. Dont think the seasons over yet but we need a few days of nice weather.
December 8th
Captain Cole reported a decent catch on the tog grounds. We tried a few new areas and found a chip everywhere we went. The wind and tide picked up after lunch and the bite was only in the stern. High hooks had limit catches. Other struggled to get dialed in on the strange bite. biggest fish was 7 pounds. A few sea bass and a cod here and there. No sail tomorrow with the gust 30 forecasted and keeping an eye on the wet and windy weekend.
December 5th
Captain Cole reported a good day of catching on the blackfish grounds. It was the slowest day in a while on the keeper front but the short action was incredible. Between the tinker tog and dink sea bass we had bent rods all day long. Those anglers who waited for the biggest bites did have some nice keepers for the dinner table. Water is still very warm for this time of the year. Seemed to be a little cold shock in the upper bay water and fish have been on the move to some of the offshore deeper spots. We will get back dialed in on Wednesday.
