Solid fishing in most spots. Limit of springs mid teens to mid twenties. Lost a pig today that I would have loved to seen.
A rare morning limit.

Took some buddies out for a quick evening troll. Broke one off on the hookset and watched it jump about 10 times with my gear then had a seal take one. Both around 20. Released a 10. Here are some pics taken out of video. Were gonna post a 10 min vid of some highlights over the last month later this week.
The hammer comin down
Another getting nailed
Our biggest spring jumping into the net with the cam on the handle.
Sadly resorted to the Green/white until this spring destroyed it.

Hey Kelly, there's that "go to" spoon of yours again! Thanks for the invite but we were up late celebrating a B-day. Are you around for a bit or headed back to the big city? I have today off and was gonna work on the boat but the fish are bitin so probably head out. Send me a text if you wanna go out. Were you at Gerald? BRS

Went out for the morning bite with Bushy at Gerald. There were lots of boats around and saw a few nets. Bushy put down his favourite coyote/ flasher combo and once again it was the lucky rod. Bushy brought in a feisty low twenties and it was bonked. Ten minutes later the same rod hit, Bushy jumped up and set the hook and passed it off to me holy crap! This thing took off with no stopping and my fingers were burning. He stripped off half my line and then turned and ran right at me and the old Shimano couldnt keep up and gone. I will never hear the end of that one. I took Bushy in and headed out solo and managed my limit in just over an hour. They were 14 and 16lbs one on coyote spoon and the other on hootchie down deep at 180ft. Kelly I have the boat moored at Schooner til next week so if you are around for the long weekend give me a shout, there are some big fish around right now. BRS

Cheers All,
Was out on charter today and have to say the seals are as bad as I have ever seen it here...
We boated a 30, 20, and 14 but lost more to our POSSE! Guests were NOT amused....
