Unfortunately we struck out on rockfish. This is unusaul for the rips come Novemeber as most trips there with eels produced in the past for us. We fished the prissy wick area to start and made our way out to overfalls. Water clarity was horrible on ebb tide out of the bay. We eeled and jigged as most people were eeling or livelining spot. We did see two fish caught. However both were caught trolling just off the rips with deep running plugs running back into them. We started to do this but the amount of boats were too much so we pulled the plug and ran up the beachfront. It was a beautiful day and the rips were crowded. I did end up with a dogfish on an eel.

We stopped off at a wreck on the way home and got our limit of tog. We also hit a shoal before hitting the barn and We got a slammer blue... We saw no bait and the water was stained all the way down the beach front inside 3 miles.
