Trip Summary
Had a great day nearshore with Dana E and crew for a half-day charter. Kept our focus on the Spanish mackerel, and managed to put 16 on the boat, along with a couple of bluefish, a bunch of lizard fish, and a handful of "long distance releases" on some of the more athletic Spanish. We'll be back for them later.
Fishing was steady, but not gangbusters, and mostly in the shallower water close to the breakers. Most fish came on the troll, but we did stop for a while on some good bird action to throw jigs, and the crew put a couple of fish in the box with the light tackle too!
Overall, it was a pretty day to be on the ocean, and the crew were a lot of fun throughout. Ended up the day with the scenic ride up the Intracoastal Waterway, and back to port in time for a late lunch.
