Decided to give it a try taking our new puppy out for his first time on the boat. Was a little worried about him getting excited and running around, but he quickly decided to chill and enjoy the ride.
Wasn’t long and we got our first fish.
Took a few hours to get 5 after some misses and lost fish. They weren’t the skinny snakes like you expect in mid August, but definitely stressed some and it shows when they hit/fight. All were legit keepers and had empty stomachs, but looked incredibly healthy for this time of year. Had 1 filled with eggs I thought was odd.
All were caught trolling at about 50’-55’ in anywhere from 70’ to 140’ fow.
Nice fish Tim and a good screen shot! Might have to get my down riggers out of storage, but then again I’m too much of a live bait and spoon man… Nice job!!
