The blues have completely taken over. Nothing like last week where it was much more bass than blues. Tough to get our lines wet without a chopper picking it up. Fished the morning and managed 6 bass to 38”. Dozens and dozens of blues to 34” – my arms are tired! 3-4” sandeels everywhere.
Also had this close encounter with a basking (?) shark. She swam right at us and nearly hit us with her tail when she turned. She didn’t seem spooked by the engines and even let us follow her for about a mile (trying without luck to get a good picture). Same one that was seen on the flats last week? I have a 20' boat, and it was nearly as big as the boat. Harmless maybe, but still a little scary to be that close to something that big.
Nice day on the water though – we didn’t see any of that rain that was in the forecast and it was pretty calm. We’ll hit it again tomorrow and see if we can get one of those cows we saw last week. Anyone else having any luck?
