Today’s weather forecast was WRONG!! NW 10-15...I think not. It blew a straight 20-25 all morning. Crappy conditions but tried to ride it out. Took a wave over the bow while on the hook and that was it. Called it a short trip. Really disappointing. Been looking forward to this trip with Firas since we were blown out last month. Not the last trip we hoped for. Had a few togs and a small cod before wrapping it up. Until next year, I guess. Hoping we make it west tonight...
An excellent day of fishing for Tim and the boys, all first-timers with NRC. After steaming more than 20 miles, we dropped the hook and were into fish all day long. The guys boxed almost 60 sea bass and a handful of cod. We also had fun catching mackerel throughout the day. Even hooked a whiting. Also had a whale swim by and a few seals make an appearance. Quite the marine adventure! Looking forward to another trip next summer.
We sailed open boat today and had the pleasure of fishing with Paul “Nice Guy” Galeno as well as a few NRC first-timers looking to get in on the bottom fishing action. The day proved to be a little challenging, as the fish seemed to have lock jaw. We put together a decent catch of sea bass and cod, but hope for some more consistent action tomorrow. Managed a quick shot of Peter showing off one of the cod boated by the gang.
