We splashed the boat in at 8.30 am and found the porgy (or LY for most of you) at the channel again. Four casts and we ended up with over 50 progies, more than enough for the day ... even had a couple of dozen left at the end of the day:
We started fishing at a little after 9 am. We both got hits on the very first cast. Dave ended up with a short fish
Mine was a little bigger, at 18.5'' :tooth:
Dave came back soon after with a nicer fish, I believe around 19.5''
I answer right back with a 21''
By around 10.30 am, we had 9 in the box and started throwing plugs. Dave was using a suspended and me a top water plug. We each hooked and lost quite a few good fish, including a nice red and a trout that easily the biggest fish of the day, right at the boat. All I managed to bring in to the boat with top water was this stupid thing, which was promptly released - believe I heard it said not to hit another top water hard-bait again.
I caught a couple of spanish while waiting for Dave to catch fish number 10, which was accomplished at a little after 11 am. We then put on our snorkel gear, and took us about half-hour to pick our legal limit of scallop. While scalloping, a storm developed right on top of us giving the boat a good fresh water wash down.
Was gonna fish a little more but the storm chased us all the way back to the marina.
What we ended up for the day. All good fish except a 16'' which took the hook too deep.
The best thing about fishing on weekdays ....... the closes boat to us was probably at least half-mile away. Hope yall enjoyed the picture.
