Fished on Stellwagen on Saturday with a great crew. Fishing was what I would call a slow pick all day. The guys had to fish their way through hundreds of short cod to put some good keepahs in the boat.
The guys ended up with 85lbs of fillet which I consider a slow day of catching.
On Sunday I took a couple friends for a ride to the inshore areas off Hampton. My buddy limited out there on Saturday so I wanted to see if we could get a couple fish for our own freezers.
As I arrived there was only one boat on my radar and he was offshore from where I planned to fish. We nailed a half dozen nice fish on the first couple of drifts before a good squall blew through. The wind put up a frothy chop on top of a 3' southerly swell in a matter of minutes. The tide and wind combined for a real fast drift so after a half hour we decided to call it a short day. By the time we left, every headboat and 6 pak from Newburyport to Portsmouth converged on the spot we had setup up on. Guess I chose the right spot :)

Capt. G , you need to buy a 2nd boat that matches Boat #1 then send boat #2 out as a decoy to let the fleet follow .

I'm retired.....from making any decent $$.
No one can make it here, don't get how anyone can there, either. But what do I know... :roll:
