14 Albacore, 1 Yellowtail and 1 Spanish Mackerel for 10 anglers. Trolling was the preferred method, the Spanish Mackerel was caught on iron on the slide. After looking at the Terrafin, I developed a plan. After visiting the Point and Click, the plan was slightly revised but strongly reinforced. And what was it about the best laid plans of ..... ? The Terrafin temps did not match up with the latest satellite by about 2 degrees. Maybe the wind, maybe the current that was absolutely ripping. The point and click was off considerably. In stead of heading west of the HMB weather buoy, I went above and outside the 601, so I could troll comfortably SE to below and inside the 601 where Thursday (6 albacore for 4 anglers) treated us well until the wind came up. Trolled towards the 601, a fish here a fish there. Then west to find better temperature as it was hard to hold even 59 degrees. Caught fish in 58.3 degrees and they were big cold water bombers. Temp finally warmed up 10 to 15 miles west of the 601, to 61.7. It was a pick bite, only singles. Caught the yellowtail on a Leadmasters Cedar Plug with a red hook, no paint for glitter or fancy stuff on the body. Here's the numbers. 59/51, 57/50, 55/53, 54/54, 53/54, 53,55, 52/57, 52/01, 56/01, 57/00. Not a lot of chatter on the radio. there was one triple for the day.
