Fair Haven 4/14

[greenhornet73]

The wind forecast was correct today and I finally got out again.  Started at 8am and fished shallow inside the chocolate water and out to the midline with no hits for 1.5 hrs.  Decided to slide out deeper for kings and saw a good mark at 35’ so I worked that area for rest of the morning.  My downrigger with the MVP of the day purple clown took all the fish but 1 that came unbuttoned on a planer board with 1 color and UV Die Hard. Landed 3 browns and 1 screamer 29’ down over 44fow.  There was a pod of 6 or 7 and thankfully I didn’t double up because it took 20 minutes to land it on my med light action rod and 12# leader.  Went about 15# and 31”.  What a blast watching it do acrobatics 150’ behind the boat after it peeled over 100’ of line out on the strike.  The Coast Guard went out on a call but went out of viewing distance,  not sure what the situation was but couldn’t pick up anything on my radio besides the weather.  Great day on the water, didn’t even pay attention to the rain.
