Got a couple friends to run out on Capt. John's boat looking for some "tweener" fish (not trophy's but midsize). We only ran 7 boat rods and picked up 7 fish. Largest was 29 inches. Most were 25-27 inches; and we had only a single fish that measured 20 inches. We tossed back 8 or 9 fish that would have gone in the box last year (18-19 inches).
It was windy this morning
Glad we were on a 46 Markley
We hit three areas before we found a pod of fish (can't say where because Tawn was running a charter in the same area; and not enough fish to put a lot of pressure on them).
Not only did we catch some fish, but Capt John fixed some rockfish platters for all of us (rockfish, french fries, cole slaw, and drinks). It was the perfect end for a great day.
