Interesting night last night out of the ford. Pretty limited by my boat, but learned a few things.
It was a beautiful night on the water. Clear skies, big bright moon and a bright/planet star to the ne of it... (not sure what it was... rumor had it that mars was large and visible this week, but i think thats a hoax).
Probably more wave action than I care for in my little 16 footer with 1-3 footers rolling in. I had to go really slow and keep everything heavy, including Lloyd, in the back of the boat to keep the nose from dipping into the waves when running out into it.. This made finding a place to fish difficult... or simple depending how you look at it (fished close to the island). Trolling wasnt too bad if I just paid attention to our direction... I even waited on setting lines til Lloyd was done an so that someone could keep an eye on things.
We managed to hook 5 fish but lost 2...partly I think due to the confusion. The biggest was about 24".
Looking forward to going back with a bit less weather.
