13 customers in the harbor today, only boat to make it out and glad we did. After yesterdays hack, the fish wanted to eat today. Figures, a boat load of customers yesterday, no bite, small gang today and more than we could use! Looked in the channels, didn't find a thing, didn't stop, headed down the beach and found some life off the Highlands. First few drifts, all bass with a couple beauties mixed in. Chriss Gjertsen landed a 47inch 34 pounder for the big one of the day. Eddie Hazletine, Mitch jevic both had fish in the 20 pound class. Plenty of big blues in the deep when we went searching for more life. My Dad, the old salt he is,landed 6 would be keepers and his share of Blues. Nasty, cold, rainy day, best time to fish!!! capt.ron
