6/16 RoCkY RoAd on da Bay

[Adam Bomb]

Well, we had a late start today. Messed around here at the house and debated all morning on whether or not to go out with the east wind. I made a few calls and finally got a hold of Scott(Fishingmachine2) and he was out on the water. He said there was good 2' waves, but it was dying down. So, Dad and i loaded up the boated and headed out. Made about a 12 mile run and shut down. On my way i passed a white lund...Turns out it was Scott. Anyhow, we made a pass there and i pulled a couple fish, one legal, one sub legal. Didnt mark a whole lot through there. So, we pulled up and headed east about 2 miles and setup again to come down the same troll we did on Sunday. Set lines and it wasnt long and things were poppin. Didnt take long and we had 7 in the box. Along with the good fishing came more and more wind and waves. The 1 1/2-2' chop quickly built up to 3', then 4'ers steady. And eventually it kept building and there were 5 and 6' mixed in. With the water building the way it was we just decided to keep the tail in the wind and keep on a downward troll. In doing so we had a lull in the action where we didnt catch a fish for quite some time. Eventually we hit a pod of fish and finished out our limit. Boated somewhere around 25 fish to get our ten legal fish. Was another great day on the water despite the rocky road back to Linwood.

Fished in 25-28' of water. Used 1 oz. Inlines 25-35' back, got a few at 40'. Pink was hot today. Ran pink stack beads w/DB Fishing Pink Panties Whiptail, Pink Confusion, Yeck's Puss n Boots. We also had two chart harnesses out. One was a standard harness and one was a spoon harness. Ran a Yeck Circus Freak on that and on the spoon harness Bait Rigs Astrobrite Silver Melon-Spoon was a Silver Streak Candy Apple. We never ran the motor at all today. Just drifted along with the waves. Had speeds from 0.8-2.7. Id say we averaged around 1.3-1.5 S.O.G.

Good Job Adam. Catching some fish always makes those waves seem just a little smaller than they really are. That'll be a nice dinner for you guys too!

NIce job Adam!!! It got a little bumpy, didnt it... We ended up hitting some fish inside after I talked to ya but nothing worth anything!! Then on the way in I was about 3/4 of a mile from the end of the buoys into LBM and hit a damn log in 10 fow and took one of my blades right off my prop!! Oh well luckely the wind was at our back and I just chugged in slow enough so we didnt vibrate too bad!! We had a good day out there too, you would hit those pods like Adam said then nothing!! You just had to be in the right area!! We never turned on a spot we just kept covering water!! We did get one right at 6lbs which was nice to see and of course I foregot my camera!! Pink/chart and purple/chart was really good for us today!! Nice talking to ya out there Adam!! My darn cell phone has alot of dead zones out there...LOL!!
