We left Seaforth Friday night into what was supposed to be rough seas. We called bull5hit on the weather and it paid off!! Limited load of 16 anglers on the 65' Outer Limit. I fished with a couple of the guys before and there was also one fellow FNN'er on board. That is Pineapple Express.
We started Saturday on the troll. The capt said they only had one jig strike in the past few days of fishing. Saturday followed suit for zero jig strikes and scratch fishing to say the least. We ended Saturday with a measly 5 fish on board. Jackpot went to Billy's 32# Albie. I was 1-1 on the day with the loss coming to a poor hook set or a poor hook???
We fished hard Saturday so lights out came pretty quick after a kick a55 steak dinner.
Sunday started with soaking some bait early to see if anyone was sleeping under the boat. After a quick soak capt called 1-4 to the rail and we began the troll.
We stopped shortly after for some sonar marks. I quickly cranked in my troll stick and tossed a big dine out on my 30# set up. Pineapple Express was next to me and quickly on a hot bite. The my reel starts screaming and I'm hooked up too.
The day stayed pretty much the same, taking a few fish on each stop. One thing about the troll is you never know whats gonna happen. About mid-day we started to move and there were only two troll rods out. I set out a bright green Zucker (sp?) and went in to get a cold water. No sooner did I get into the galley did I hear "HOOK UP!!!" as I came out it was the same rig I just sent out. Cool thing is the guy who manned it ended up landing his first Albie!! An I got one off that stop too. It pays to be one of the first baits in the water!!
All in all I was 5-7. All fish taken on big dines, 30# P-Line blue, 2/0 ringed flyliner. Owner Hooks are the best !!!!!
Enjoy the pics
