Blanked out at N Arm to S Arm. Saw a few pinks caught.
anyone do any Albion analysis? Seems like maybe they haven’t showed….

I realised today that I'd rather spend 10 hours not catching fish than one minute eating over priced, boiled, "competition" ribs at the PNE. She owes me.

They don’t finish the ribs on the grill? Moist soggy ribs?

They do but it's not enough. Not nearly enough smoke or bark to begin with. They even skimp on sauce

Yup was blanked also after 7 hours on the water after trolling around North Arm. We did have a few hits, but those were only jack springs. Certainly thankful for the time on the water with good friends & spectacular scenery.

Trolled 9am-6pm NA to sandheads, 1 pink and a beauty low teen lost by the boat. Quite devastated. Where can one get some anchovies in the morning.. or anywhere I can dock and buy? Would like to head out tomorrow if I can get my hands on some chovies.

I’d say salt is key.. no torn bellies.
