Premier Trip 8/3 Cuda and Sandies
#1
Hey there guys,

Rode the Premier today. Danny at the helm with Mikie and ... Andy ?? on deck and the galley in the very capable hands of Eva. Good anchovies and sardines. 49 anglers still kept it to a fairly lite load. Travel time, with a few stops on the way, down to within sight of the twin stacks down HB took a little over an hour and a half.

Overcast in the AM yet burned off fairly quickly. Some say overcast days are good for the barries. Ocean was pretty flat with a nice breeze and good current! Great conditions for plastics ... BUT .. as usual ....the morning has often left a lot to be desired in the 'good numbers let alone 'wide-open department' tossin' for sandies with the plastics. Barracuda? Different story .... wide open in the early morning. I managed 2 cuda for seven due to bite offs on the swimbaits using 25 pound test fluro. At least it wasn't bite-offs at the rail. Guys using jigs and bait got most of the 150 slimers. Wind picked up in the afternoon. Our hound dog friends only chased us off one spot. Counted 5 of the creatures at one time!

Few moves today, after great barracuda fishing for a good grade fish in the morning, we moved up a little closer to home for the sandbass and a few more barracuda. Tough, scratch fishing early on but really started to pick up, especially the grumpies, in the late afternoon. Most of the fish caught at mid-depth otherwise the bottom. Around 175 sandies caught.

Nothing special on keying in on the sandies except they were being caught with the green color combos early and then the brown bait colors later on. Not many fish caught up on top ... dang I love it when you can cast to them. Short biting S*B's .... they did a number on a bunch of my 6" BH swimbait tails. Ouch$$$$$$Ouch.

Barracuda won the jackpot but just did beat out the 8+ pound sandy. Pretty Big !

Great boat, crew, and fishing. Got back to the dock at 6pm. Hey EJ ... way to go on those fish and great fishin' with ya once again......will see ya Monday.

happy fishing everybody,
