What a way to start of the NEW YEAR 2012.Too many party animal friends going out for New years left just John and I to head out and enjoy an incredible day for January 1 2012. If it wasnt for the south wind that came on mid morning we probably would have been fishing in t shirts today.Started out to it being like a mirror and running north at 39 knots up the beach.John boated his first tog of the New year a few minutes after we came tight a solid 4 pounder. I followed up minutes later with my first tog of 2012, a solid 9 pounder which John put an ALS tag on before I sent it back to fight another day.Bite got a little scratchy so we headed out to deeper water. Took about half an hour to get them going, but once they started the bite built quickly as did the seas.we boated over twice our limit ( only keeping 4 each ) releasing all the rest , keeping a bunch of nice roasters for the table.Both of us knew it was time to head in as the seas had really stacked up tight , but kept fishing for another hour throwing back nice tog. Then took the beating riding back in the stacked 4 footers at 13 knots.
