Had two of the toughest trips since guiding Saturday. Picked up Javier and his threes buddies at 7:00 on a crisp 40 degree morning. Looked at every area fish usually hold this time of year and they were there, however, they would not bite. Found one small school of dinks that would nibble and caught a few of those. The fish were holding from 17-28ft on drop off, but were hugging the bottom and not in the mood this morning. Water temp was 63 degrees but ended up near 70 by the end of the day.
Picked up repeat customers Dwight, his wife, two daughters, and son in law. Dwight has been on some very good trips and wanted to share this one with his family. Well, this one wasn't as good. The fish that wouldn't bite this morning weren't there in the afternoon, so we couldn't try and persuade them. Went to a point that is pretty good when boat traffic starts getting crazy and there was already a guy there fishing it catching a few fish. Tried to fish out from him on the ledge, but no takers. Tried another point and nothing. Got a text from Karl that a point I had tried 3 times earlier now had some dinks on it. Tried another are a and nothing home. Decided a few dinks was better than nothing so we went to join Karl and Bama. Caught some dinks and a dozen keepers there. Saw a boat show of trollers south of the island on the way in catching what looked like more dinks.
Today, the wind blew from the north, south, east, west and everywhere in between. I sure hope it picks back up soon. What a difference a week makes. Easy limits last Saturday and couldn't even get a limit out of two trips this Saturday. I hope somebody else did better this weekend. Saw a few good fish caught by guys throwing cranks at rocks.
