After 3 days tied to the dock I felt like a caged animal waiting to get out and fish. Today was the day I waited for all season. Made it to the Rocks and plenty of bird life, first drift had a good shot of shorts and 1 keeper. Got nuts and ran for what I thought would be bigger fish..gannets hitting the water is normally the key!! Stopped the boat and in 2 minutes had 8 fish on, the first one made me crazy, a new big pool fish caught by Dr. Sal at 24 pounds (sorry Joe maybe Monday). Rob and I didn't put the nets down for 20 minutes...Got about an hour and a half out of the bite before the outgoing killed everything. Bird life went, bait and fish dissapeared, didn't matter as we had ours! Looked back inshore, up to the North and never caught another fish. Mortgage Man Eric, Tom, Jim, Sal, fabien, just about everyone on the boat had thier limit.....Only problem, TRY TOO REPEAT IT TOMORROW!! Capt.ron
