just one 40" prespawn female with sealice - 4/23
 

Lines started going in the water at 6:30am in 37' of water heading south looking for the Deale fleet. 3 lines in the water and as I start putting out the 4th, I notice the 1st board rod is bent over and line is out the back of the boat... fish on! White Bloody Point Tandem 3/8oz back 80 feet brought in a 40" prespawn female covered with sealice! As I finished putting out the spread, the screen was covered with fish marks and I was thinking that the fish have finally arrived and it was going to be a great day. However, that was the only fish of the day! I was marking fish and lots of bait in 33-42' steadily until 9:30am when the screen went blank with strong incoming current. Then the wind came up to 20-30 by 10am and it was a rough day but good to see that the Judge and Skip's boards could handle it. Kept waiting for bite to turn on, but I never found the bait and fish again. Finally started pulling lines in at 2pm. All lures were clean, no jellies, no debris. Water temp 54-55. Saw at least 20 charters out in the morning, but they seemed to be in search mode, and I only saw 2 fish caught. With all the marks and bait I saw, Saturday has got to be a good day!

I'll be out in Allen's boat Saturday. Out of SP. For some reason, he wants to leave at 6:30 in broad daylight:D

Mike; if you make the run; look for a 22ft Proline Express with a black Verado motor. I'll have my phone.

I should have mine back in the water next week:)

Nice to know the jellies were not a problem. I'll be out Sat and Sun. somewhere out front of Deal or south.

I will be fishing Saturday also. At this point going to start near CR bouy.

Marty, by the time you hit the water we should have full spread deployed with my 2 boys putting out lines and a Robin at the helm! Give me a call when you get out and I will let you know how it looks.

Damn you all...cooking BBQ tonight and tomorrow morning then getting on the boat to head to the point with my wife for her Birthday. Then Sunday I have a BBQ gig so the only fishing I might get in is on Sunday afternoon...Have fun fellas!

We fished a little south of Deale yesterday. Not a touch until about 1130 and then we found a knot of fish. 9 fish from 35-41 in less than an hour and then it died. 6 of the 9 fell within the slot and went back.

Cold, windy, rough day.

Will be back out again from 6am until dark today and Sunday.

Green umbrellas:eek:
Are you trying to get thrown out of Deale:D

Good job on finding a "knot" of fish and staying with them.

At least the weather looks better today (Sat).

Best of luck.
