Had 3 hats in the car and grabbed the Team 57 old weathered, not worn in months beat up, faded hat for good luck.
Got a free boat ride / birthday present with my 2 newphews on the Patriot out of Newport. Had to load up on weights 6 oz - 10 oz for the 150' - 250' depth.
$50 bucks worth the lead and ended up useing the same rig for 5 hours. LOL
The guy that set up the charter said at the first stop
' $20 for the first fish on the boat ' Bam, felt something. reeled up and had a 6" Sand Dab. :Thumbs Up: Told the guy ' There is a legal catch ' he looks :Rolls Eyes:
then looks at the deckhand and the deckhand nods. That was a fast $20
Then next drop Nice 7 lb Boccacio and I'm thinking JP
20 guys in the Jackpot @ $5 ea = $100
No fish here so we head to the 14
4 to 5 relocation spots on the anchor and DR had the hot fishing rod.
Kept saying ' Gunna need another gunny sack ' LOL
Everybody caught fish. Mostly newbies on rental rods. Deckhands fished a little and
handed off rods to the rookies. Lots of Boccacio / Salmon Grouper and assorted rockfish.
Got a limit of rockfish and gave away 4 big Boccacio.
That first Boccacio smoked the competion with only one guy trying to compeat.
Gave the JP to the crew and they were stoked with the 25 passenger light load.
Most of the newbs fished the side of the boat and the stern was pretty open all day.
Thanks Dana for the ' Lucky Hat '
