27 jan 2007 report

Pulled Still Think'n into Owls creek Ramp area to be met by a line of boats waiting to head out. Met Andrew and Jason who proceeded to load up their stuff and get onboard so we could head out. Got the boat floated, out the inlet and pointed her south. made it down to Corolla lighthouse by around 0730 or so and was marking bait so we put the spread out....nothing biting there. WIred up showed up and put a spread out. We heard of a bite back up at the state line so we both pulled lines and headed north to the line. Saw tons and tons of bird working, a few boats and marking fish solid all over the place.Put the spread out and not 5 minutes later...BAM....nice fish on a Mojo, jason has never caught a fish over 22 inches so we gave it to him, turned out to be a nice 44 inch fish, which went immediately into the box. Pretty much non stop action until 1000 at which time we limited out with sever fish over 40 inches, a couple in the 30's...all nice class of fish. Lines in and headed home by 10.....great day out there......here's a couple of shot....Oh yea before I forget....5 of the fish came on the G&H mojo lures made by (GUS), the other 3 came on green umbrella rig, 2 on the trailer and one on one of the arms...I had a 16 ounce inline on one and a 10 ounce inline on the other one....awesome day out there......BobP.S. the fish passed the Dachhounds inspection !...lol

They seemed to work out very well....until next time.....tight lines....bob

1/7/2007 Report

Had the good Captain Fatbeard onboard today. Went to the same general location as yesterday and found the fish. Birds were working and fish were being marked. managed 2 fish before the armada arrived and began causing complete Chaos. Went a bit north and worked with Capt Dave on Billable Ours and Owen and crew on Felix the Cat. Pulled two more fish out of the area and called it a day early. Have to spend a little time at home over the weekend !....Be looking for reports on the Mid Atlantic Rockfish Shootout coming over the next couple of day....until then tight lines !....Bob

1/6/2007 First report for the year

Otter and I ended up going out around 11 on Saturday the 6th. Had a couple of cancellations so we decided to just go ahead and hit it up...weather was a bit bumpy at the beginning of the day but smoothed our really nice. Water temp was 55 degrees. Based on a tip at the Ramp we decided to make a right out of Rudee Inlet and run down to false cape area. Pulled up a bit north of False cape, just south of the pier in about 40 feet of water. Great marks and bird action. managed to pull a limit of some pretty nice fish. 2 went 40 inches and were nice and fat. My digital scale was on the fritz so we didn't weight them but I'm thinking around 30# or so. Here's a couple of shots
