8/20 - hopped on board with a new friend on his 26' sea pro cc and headed out 50 miles for trolling/bottom fishing. Left the hill at about 4:30 am and was on location probably 30 min. before the sun came up so we started out bottom fishing. Got a few keeper beeliners in the box before sun up and then broke out the trolling gear. Trolled for 2 hours going 1 for 2 on the knockdowns with just a stinky cuda to show for it. Switched over to bottom again and had to work for it hitting around 8 or so spots to top off the box with 3 man limits of black sea bass and beeliners with a silver snapper and grunt thrown in. Worked our arses off for it but FUN!
Sunday 8/21 - boat in at 10 am took the wife and kids fishing inshore on the V21. Hit the first spot 50 yards from the boat ramp. Fished for about 1 hr on the hook and caught one 13.5" flounder. Booze cruised for an hour after that looking at all the million dollar houses then hit my go-to spot picking up two 14" reds. Next, zipped back out the the ocean and deployed the #1 and #2 planers with clarkspoons for spanish but no takers. Pulled lines in and took the kids on a joyride over the swells out to the 3 mile reef. They screamed like girls....oh wait...they are girls. Boat out at 2:30 pm to pack up and head home.
