We went out of little salmon. Went out for a couple hrs sister had one come unglued after it ran out 756 ft on first run. I had one to the boat and got cut off on the prop. Praying its calm tomarrow but not looking good.
Me and my sister got out for a few before we got blown off again. Landed 2 one weights 32.6 lbs and sisters 19. Ran 3 dipseys to rough for the riggers set up in 125 ft one came out of 80 ft down second 100 down.
Ya true! I run a 21 ft ranger bass boat I'm good to 3 ft then I don't want to be out there. Thought the same, want and need are 2 different things. Yes I'm limited to when I can go. Weekends or vacation days. So when I can go I don't want to be sitting on the dock, that sucks!! If I had the bigger boat it would come down to don't care I'm going! Like the forecast for sat 15 North east I wouldn't be trying to figure out if I'm going or not.
Here we go again!! Planning on coming again and here comes the wind. I can't win!!! Got to fish a hr and a half 2 weekends ago caught 2 lost 1 then got blown off. Time to invest in a 26 ftr
