Fished 9:00am until 2:00pm today. First time out for about a month. Time to give the winters a try out from the Harbour and along the bluffs. Within 30 minutes got a beauty 11lb fish on mint tulip hootchie at 131 feet. After that the fish got smaller until they petered out altogether.
Got a 5lb fish on green glow anchovy head, then a 2 lb fish which went back and that was it except for a shaker. Mid-morning east wind made trolling on the kicker a challenge. Crabwise slewing of the boat led to a monumental tangle which took 30 minutes to sort out. By then it had calmed down a bit and after 1:00pm it was great, but never saw another fish after the shaker at 11.
Only one other boat out there all day. Nice day though and quite warm with sun shining through Bimini top…..LOL

Out solo about 12:30 to 2:30 Yesterday. Bluffs to Trailer park. A little sloppy for the 16' open aluminum... and forgot the net. Lost one about 6lb at the boat in a failed tailing then kept a small bleeder and successfully tailed a marbled football about 12 lb. Great scrap on the light rod with no flasher. All clipped.

We saw you at there Bugs. We were in the Trophy. At one point we were very close together on our tacks (all that water and just us 30 yards apart!! LOL)
Great fish on a plug like that. As you saw from our post we caught one a bit smaller but it does not compare to catching one from an open tinny with no net! Congrats.
P.S. My wife says she is scared for you as we saw you stand up once in that little boat and we could not see a life jacket. I said you were probably wearing one under your jacket......at least I sure hope you were!!

Thanks very much Englishman! And you can thank your wife for her concern! I definitely always wear a lifejacket now, it is one of the inflatable keyhole mustangs so not that visible. They are a great investment, I don't even notice it and half the time I am still wearing it when get back to the house.
Regarding the plug... it was a 4# tomic that I picked up last week for lake trolling (i forget the # but a rainbow trout type colour pattern-not unlike the standby army truck in base colours). Figured I would throw it down rigged as it was for the lake (8lb test which made the tailing even more touchy). All three fish hit the tomic. I had an anchovy down on the other side and one shaker was all it touched, go figure.
Tight lines.
