Fishing Reports for
6/7 and the 6/8-6/9 Overnighter
888
My wife was kind enough to spring for some fuel for my birthday,
so Bart Smith and I headed offshore on 6/8 in 4 foot seas created by a 15 knot
Northeast wind. Fortunately, as the forecast had predicted the wind started to lay down at midday; albeit at 2:00 PM it was a couple of
hours later than the forecast suggested. J
While the dolphin fishing had slowed down for the fleet, we were
lucky enough to put together a nice mess of about a dozen gaffers; one of which
is pictured above.
We were hoping to find a billfish; however, they weren’t in the
mood to cooperate.
Nonetheless, we had a good time with the dolphin as it continues
to surprise me just how much line a 15 – 25 # dolphin will peel off a 30 #
class reel.
The next morning we headed out on an overnighter which pretty much
produced the same results as the day trip before, as depicted above; albeit, it
included a spectacular sunset as depicted below.
