Yes, we had the wind, but it didn't stop the fish from biting. Tough conditions and we needed the heavier jigs today. With the wind we drifted at 2.2 knots, most of the guys I know who troll think 3 knots is perfect!

Feel like a broken record everyday with the "Turn the handles thing" today it was turn them slow, not too fast or you will catch the blues.

Still, way too many customers bouncing their jigs when the fish are 15 ft. off the bottom...Lot's of lost tackle that way also...at $5 a pop for jigs, I'd listen to the Captain.

Tony the Lawyer finally had his day in court, leading the way with 7 fish, 3 keepers and the pool fish at 15 pounds!! Eddie was right behind him with 5 fish and 2 keepers. Way too many 26 and 27 inch fish going back and the Blues are still ferocious!

With the hard West wind tomorrow we will fish down the beach and shouldn't have a problem. Plenty area's to choose from...But I'm Beggin you, PLEASE listen to what we tell you to do, if you don't understand, myself and the crew will be more than happy to show you what's going on. Capt.Ron
