just got back from Newport. Aside from sunburn, here's what our 14hrs of fishing yielded:
15 squid (only 1 today <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol' /> )
1 sea robin on a pink yozuri last night
We said we were only going to fish for a couple hours today but you know how that goes <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />. Wound up fishing from 11-4pm. The action was Sloooooow most of the day and I got bored at one point so I tied up my schoolie rod w/ a 2oz Tsunami ball jig topped w/a squid strip to see what was doing. I wound up catching 3 skates, 2 starfish, 4 clams and a piece of rope. I also dropped a big squid on this same combo. Damn cannibals! LOL.
The only squid i managed to catch today was a decent size at least. I told my buddy I would freeze it whole and save it as my Doormat "secret weapon" There were a couple decent frenzy's today but nothing worth making a long ride for. The most I saw of anyone on the bridge was one guy w/ a half bucket. I saw him there last night and don't think he ever left.
I did see some ppl catching on greens today though. The loatian guys were there again (if the one w/ the black hat is a member, I gotta hand it to you man, you've got skills.) He actually had a following at one point. He'd jig up squid casting far out w/ a 3 jig setup. He'd pull one in and then everyone would fish next to him. He'd move and the crowd would move with him. I'm sure it was annoying for him but it was funny to watch all these people running back and forth with buckets.
It was nice to meet those of you I ran into last night/today. Skane, good to meet ya man. You didn't miss much last night or today.
