May 30, 2008 - What a great morning to be on the water. The wind was blowing yesterday and it has already picked this morning but for the first couple of hours after sunrise it was absolutely perfect out on the water.We took the 23' Key West CC (Reel Fun) out of Plymouth this morning. On board was FBC member Jim, his friend Scott, prospective member Mike and our mutual friend Stephen. It didn't take us long to find the fish either - we could see the birds working as we pulled away from the dock.....or at least 'eagle eye' Stephen could.
We worked these fish for about a half hour with a steady pick of fish up to 26". We could see more birds working out towards Bug Light so the decision was made to press forward in the hope of bigger fish. We hit a few more pods with similar results. Then we found one where the fish were just that little bit bigger.
It wasn't long before Stephen and Mike were doubled up on a couple of nice Keepers.
Not to be outdone, Jim quickly found a keeper of his own.
Unfortunately at this time the number of boats working these fish started to increase and they disappeared. We hit a few more pods with another pretty steady pick of nice fish. Sure enough, once everyone left them alone, the big fish came back up. We made our way over and Stephen managed to pull yet one another keeper out of the bunch.
At this point the sun was getting higher in the sky and the wind picked up. We made a quick run out to Gurnet to see if anything was working out front, up to Powder Point bridge and back to Saquish. Managed couple more fish and then called it a morning.
A beautiful sunrise, great group of guys, birds working, fish busting and four keepers. Not a bad way to start the day.
Take care,
Scott Washburn
