Sangster was fairly dead for us yesterday, we launched as the sun peaked its head out and made our way across the glass to our destination. The lines were down for 3 minutes and we got an 8lb football which was just legal length but absolutely stuffed - had no less then 5 herring in its gut up to 7" long. Don't know where he planning on putting my anchovie but he went for it. The northern reef was blanketed in bait, stacked 30-40 off bottom. The fish must have been stuffed, we only hooked undersized and lost a few coho. One scrappy one that hit as the lines were going down, jumped three times and gone. We even had a coho hit my copilots herring on the surface less then 20' from the boat. Just smashed it, did the alligator roll, a jump and gone, lol. It was pretty hilarious.
Was hoping for a gangbusters day, but an 8lber for the smoker will have to do... and the smooth ride home was more then we could ask for lately. Cheers, good luck out there peeps!
