The captain looking hard for fish. It paid off.

People had plenty of fish to take home today.

I took home just enough for a meal or two and gave the rest away.

I fished the surface iron all day and caught about 15 plus barracuda.
Fishing was good, it was a steady bite throughout the day. I would like to thank the crew aboard the Icon for all their hard work. This was my first time aboard the Icon, and I was very please with how the boat fishes. Imo I think the captain runs a nice little operation. I'll be back whenever I get the urge to do another 1/2day run. The fish count according to sportfishingreport.com was 21anglers, who caught 174 Sand Bass and 166 Barracuda. Thanks for reading and goodluck on you next fishing adventure, Pokerface.

Hi pokerface12,

Great photo-report that pretty much told it all. Hummm I'm surprised that the mint green didn't get you some topside Sandbass.

Yea for some reason they didn't want the iron. I was getting the cudas really deep in the water column though, but no sandbass. I think they were just too focus on the anchovies that day.
