Ended doing some more stripers but no bites. Tough day today with fun group, lots of ball busting with yours truly getting some hard jabs from the crew.

The Mike Jones Charter for Bass & Blackfish

Had the Mike Jones charter out today for some bass and blackfish. We started off the day running way north looking for the striped ones that they had the day before. Found no life along the beaches all the way up to the hook, heard of a few fish caught first light up there but the bite shut down right away w/ the boat traffic. Shortly after we got there, the wind really started to blow making for very tough conditions with incoming tides and the strong w - nw wind. We reset many times but it just wasnt in the cards. The guys opted to go have fun catching some blackfish. We made a stop on the way back and had some nice blackfish action to 5#. Took a little bit to get them going but the guys managed to get their limit and release plenty more.

Striper & Tog with the Chuck Lovell Charter

Had Chuck out again with buddies Scotty "Shotgun", Jim and Brian. Headed north looking for a jig bite ended up seeing some birds working and jigged up 3 keepers and half a dozen shorts to start the day. Also jigged another dozen blues to 12lbs. Lots of sandeels around with many swimming in tight schools right next to the boat. Once the bite died we went into Tog mode. Most of the crew had never tried it but caught on quickly. Topped out the box with our limit of tog to 5lbs.

Dave Peters Mixed Bag Charter

Good to finally get out with this crazy weather Had Dave today with son Mat. Plan was to try a bunch of different species. Once we netted the live bait we headed out of the inlet and jigged a dozen Blues to 12lbs. Made a run out to the Mud Hole and began live bait chumming to look for Bluefin, had one good bite but fish spit the hook, then had some nice sized mahi eat our peanuts but couldn't connect. Mat was getting bored so we made a run back in and set on some rockpiles for seabass, landed over 40 with only half a dozen keepers. Changed gears and went togging with Mat having the hot hand, landed a couple of dozen with our boat limit of keepers. Ended the day jigging again and landed some keeper weakfish to end the day. Beautiful day with a great father/son team to fish with.
