It was a nice day, the sky was overcast with scattered dark and light clouds with small holes of blue sky showing. The wind was blowing from the shore out to sea at 5mph. The waves were tiny.
John, Tracy, and I headed out about 930am from the private boat launch area aboard a 20' Bayliner with a 150hp outboard that can do 35 knotts in good weather.
We started out on our 6 hour fishing tour. Beyond the breakwater the waves started up and became worse as we headed towards the nuke plant...the tiny ship was tossed...if not for the courage of the fearless crew... oh sorry wrong story...
So after battling the waves and hanging on, we got out past the
'nuke power plant' and started drifting...the waves however were getting wayyy too big and so after one cast we packed up and headed home... again battling the waves all the way back and getting soaked.
The day continued to be beautiful. We saw terns, gulls, seals, dolphin, pelicans along the way.
It was worth just going out just being there and seeing the scenery.
We got back, and helped john rinse off the boat, trailer, fishing poles, unpacked the boat and packed the stuff in the truck, while he parked the boat in his slip. We headed to John's house where we got to visit with his great dog and he treated us to Filet Mignon and Lobster that he caught recently! Those were fantastic and were a few lbs tails alone.
After a few hours of food and great dinner conversation I headed home.
Heres's for Tracy for being a trooper in braving the waves and Jonn for having us along!
Cheers!
PS we are gonna do it again :D
