Fished yesterday with No Regrats (and no regrets
). Had 1/2 the crew do the 6:30 am no show; I guess 6:30 isn't considered "sleeping in" enough for some folks.
Trolled a 5 rod spread - 3 hoses and 2 BFG's. Fish seemed to be in 20-28' of water mainly. The BFG's smoked the hoses. Had a couple fish on hoses but 95% were little BFG. We could have had our limit of fish by 7:30 but we only boxed 1. We had a few people that asked for fillets so we were going to keep a few today. Kept fishing and caught LOTS of fish but many were small. Stayed out until 11:30ish and only boxed 1 over and 2 unders around 23". Figured that should be enough to go around. Only caught 1 skate but they were everywhere. Lost a hose when we snagged bottom and while I was replacing rig, Stevan had to reel in 5 fish and run the boat
In fact, he ran the boat most of the morning and I got to sit back and enjoy a cold beer or 2. If the others had showed up we could have easily limited them out too.
It's always a good time fishing with No Regrats. When we hit 'em like yesterday I have NO regrets! We only shared the spot with a 27' Judge and we got a quick visit from another 27 Judge, a famous Bay Captain, "5th something or other."
Best part is we didn't even burn 8 gallons of fuel!!! The heck with 35 gallon trips to Bloody Point!
PS- Bubba Blade's are bad A$$ fillet knives! FWIW- i prefer the 7" over the 9"
