We happen to catch a nice window As far as the weather . Didn't even need gloves very comfotable fishing conditions . Sea conditions were great This was setup to be a great trip .
Bottom line the Fishing was slow . Most ended up with 10 - 12 Seabass . Nothing to rave about as far as size . Hi hook was not much more . Two pollocks where caught one about 20# and one about 7# . One Hake 2' . Hand full of decent Ling , But mostly small ones . A few large Porgys along with the Dogfish , Conger EEls and very large Silver EEls .
Most of the Fisherman I spoke with were kind of disappointed about the fishing but all seemed to be happy about wetting some lines and the nice Weather .
Very Friendly Crew , The Mates were always around and did an outstanding Job ! Very Polite and worked the boat like true pros . Very clean boat which made for comfortable Fishing conditions .
I heard one of the Mates usaually Captains the boat on these trips . Although this trip he mated and someone else Captained the boat .
I happen to fish next to a great guy . We shared some baits we both brought and had some great conversation . By the way he held his own as far as catching what was there . He was also in the higher range around 12 Fish . Including a few ling . So halfway through the trip He mentions the NorEast board . Turns out I'm Fishing with "GradySailfish" one of our own board members ! We got a laugh out of that .
