Yesterday, I ended my report by saying "I hope it wasn't a tease", Wish I could express the true words of what today was like!!! Same conditions as yesterday to start out..caught crap! Left the area. Fished off shore of the Highlands, figured after yesterdays bite at the Rocks, maybe the fish moved to the North with all the boat traffic down there... caught the pool fish, a few keepers, not many shorts. Had a dozen blackfish from 3 to 14 pounds on the hard bottom along with some very nice Knucklehead Sea Bass, Hey, the sign says Stripers, but today we did what we had to do! Fished the beach, out to the East, back to the West and South, not good fishing too say the least....One day a hero, next day a bum as the story goes. Capt.Ron
