I spent the day out there yesterday. Hooked up around 3:30 after scorching in the sun all day. Farmed it like the king of kooks.

Still, one hell of a nice afternoon on the water.

Let it eat the bait longer, and just wind on it.

She got into some rocks and snapped my leader. Didn't get her off the bottom fast enough. She was strong!

Hot and dead. I made the mistake of wearing the waders. I was thinking "it's winter!, I'll stay nice and dry!" and all I did was sweat my balls off. Was wetter getting out of the water than I would have been in trunks.

Does Fisherman's Belly have any recipes for greenbacks?

I was skunked yesterday. Fished from 0445 to 1330. Had many people ask me how I did and they reported the same results as myself. I did not see any hookups and didn't hear any hooting and hollering.

I did see a small thresher tearing through some bait twice. I considered throwing a fly-lined greenie at it, but I wouldn't kill a baby and certainly wasn't interested in dealing with the release of one. Those little ones can come up to the boat quick and are full of piss and vinegar when they do. I am sure getting one to a kayak would take longer wearing them out some, but I was okay with not finding out.

I spoke with a guy I met on the beach who mentioned seeing a much larger model outside of me.

Not 100%. No sonar. I'd guess somewhere around 100'

Wide open mud marlin and turdrollers.

Depends on what day you go and your definition of "slow"

[Geno Machino]

Went yesterday...not one bite.

Pretty much the same for everyone out there.

No boats early, only about 8-10 of us out there.

Couple of boats showed up later in the day.

To me, that's Slooooooow fishing.

Went out 6am - noon Saturday and Sunday and only had one raked bait to show for it. Saw a couple whales on Sunday after the fog cleared. One of them jumped several times and stuck its tail out of the water so that was cool. Anyways point is... it was slow, didn't hear/see anyone hook up.
