GREAT DAY on the water today with Captain Fred, David, Larry & Joe!   Started out early on the troll/jig/chunk but could not find the bluefin  bite.  Not a whole lot of reported tuna activity today that we heard... 
Hit several wrecks picking up 37 ling, 6 keeper cod and a bunch of  pre-season sea bass (which were returned to the ocean to be caught in  the next 60 days; sucks that we were only a day shy as we caught some  nice sized keepers).
On the way in, met up with some boats working piles of birds picking @  jumbo blues (14 boated - many more will swim another day).  Stripers  were popping all over the top but the Blues were all that were biting.
First time fishing with Captain Fred on Andreas Toy; great FAST boat  with a captain who is not afraid to burn gas getting to the grounds and  moving around to find fish.  Highly recommended; thanks for a great day!
