12 hours of trolling, 8 lines, water column covered top to bottom, fished bouy 78 to 82, radar towers and middle main channel. Result: 1 foul hooked Bunker, 0 rockfish, 0 knock downs- Weather was wonderful in the afternoon, a little choppy in the morning
I was hoping by posting my misery that I could get a dialogue started to see if the other fisherman where having problems finding the rockfish the last week and a half?
Misery loves company the last 2 times I went out I trolled for a combined 16hrs with nothing but burning gas! I am heading to Love Point in the morning and trying some chumming.
The guys that fished north end of the bay seemed to have difficulty in finding fish this year. I think the massive runoffs from the snows and rains early in the year threw everything off kilter. I did a trip out of Breezy opening week. I dipped my finger in the water when we got to the fishing grounds and it was almost like tap water. The fishing improved the further south you went.

We trolled 17 lines for 8 hours out of Soloman's on the 12th and got 0. It's late in the season and the may worm hatch was in full swing. Sounds like good excuses to me...........Gary
