I have a 2101 Striper - Finntastic.We are heading up July 30 for a week staying at the drift inn on Ella point. It would be great to meet some of guys on the forum if you're around. We are in a Campion explorer 602. Looking forward to your reports.
Day 1 - very, very slow. Fished Donegal to Lizard - quite a few boats, including several Sunds Lodge boats - no joy and didn't see more than a couple of nets. Only one fish back at the cleaning table this evening. From the folks who have been here for awhile, seems to be a bit of a pulse fishery. Good one day and SFA the next. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day, as today was the SFA.
Slips yes, breakwater, not so much. Expecting to have to pull my boat if a south east wind of any significance comes up.Anyone know if Alder bay got the slips and break water set up
Guy at the cleaning table this afternoon got a couple of 20+ springs at Bold Head this afternoon. We got a couple of smaller springs at Lizard yesterday afternoon. 100' on the rigger in 140' of water. Anchovies. Fishing seems to be better than last year, but not what I would consider great. On the positive side, the weather and water conditions have been very good. Bit of fog for a few hours this morning, but typical for this time of year. Burned off by about 10:30.
Ya we've had most our luck on a blue and silver hootchie. We fished lastnight and got another 15 lb. this am we went out for the same tide and had less luck but still picked up a smaller spring on a white confetti hootchie.great job Thunder, hope my wife doesn't read this, she's still wondering why we have to leave the dock by 5am when the first fish doesn't usually bite till 7am. Any chance you would share which hoochie color.
