Met a much angrier ocean than forcasted as expected with the east winds.
Chased a few areas of working birds that had spike weakfish under them.
Plan was to do some catch and release togging , and then sea bass.
sea bass were crushing the crabs at the first drop, so we switched to them for awhile.
Lots of shorts and just keepers, but we threw those back just keeping fish over 14" .
I had one nice trigger fish there.
Wanted to make a move , and ended up losing the wreck anchor as we got hammered by two 8' plus waves while pulling it. was crazy how far those waves pushed the heavy contender.
Mother nature is one tough lady.
moved south and drifted for sea bass , once again it was drop and reel, but mostly smaller fish. we picked away at some nicer ones who made their way into the box.
Finished the day early with a decent cooler of fish, as we had enough of getting our butts kicked out there .
check out the spine on the one blackfish we kept. I didnt know tog could have scoliosis .
