North Hole: Lines in @ 8(■■■■ it was dark early). First drop-ARS. Second drop BSB, ARS. Third drop-sand tiger, had me bent for 30 min. or so. Turned out to be foul hooked(pectoral fin). Wrestled our way to:
4 ARS
1 Scamp(released boatside)Gotta have the gaff ready when fishing with Bad Apple. I think he is a tree hugger and doesn’t like to hurt the fish w/a good hookset.
3 big grunts
2 limits of big BSB(a billion released)
Almaco Jacks
Other random stuff
Things of note: There was tons of bait down deep. Everything was spitting up baby butterfish(looked like em’). Water never got over 61 degrees. Alot of shark activity. Short day, only fished till 1:30.
