April 29, 2011 - Full day 7am-4pm
Wind light and variable 70 deg.
So the first trip of the season is in the books! What a gorgeous day to be out on the boat! Seriously, it was like glass and HOT! Anyway, the fishing definitely left something to be desired. We ended up down Middlebank with a full boat, which is only 38 ppl. We were able to drift all day in about 140 ft of water. It seemed the shoal water was the place to be and when we drifted through the bite was a bit better. Nothing to write home about, but historically you're either a hero or a zero on the first trip of the season.
Throughout the day the bite was slow but steady with Cod and Haddock coming over the rails. There were also tons of boats around us which makes for tough drift fishing on a 75ft boat. I don't know why but the Sculpins were everywhere too. I've never seen more Sea Robins caught in one trip than we did today. All in all we made a day out of it with a steady bite and everyone left with some fish. Pool Winner was a 11 lb cod. We have two more trips this weekend then we have a few days off to catch up on some mechanical upgrades.
More to come so check back soon. In the meantime, take a look at our website for more photos and trip stories.
