Toggin on a gray winter’s day – 2/12/24.
Got underway into ‘calm before the storm’ conditions – ocean was flat. Just after ‘grayrise’–errr, lighter shades of gray to our east as an invisible sun broke the horizon; Rusty gave 24 reef blocks a push atop Al Berger’s Reef.
We headed on off.
No wind, light current; wasn’t at all sure I’d even need an anchor. Though we couldn’t drift owing slightly too much current; did spend a good part of the AM on one anchor. Can only do that on a rare day in this fishery.
By & by there was just enough wind to give sea surface the least texture and enough current to require a bit of lead; by lunch we were on double anchors.
Not a fabulous bite this day.
Did nick a few. Threw back more still.
After a mid-day lull, the bite returned to tepid at best.
Tim put the pool winner in the
boat. Everything else went back, including Ken’s good sized female..
Try again soon.
Cheers,
Monty
