Nolan, Rudy and I trailer down to Hatteras to took advantage of the great offshore forecast and try jigging for Blackfin Tuna. It was slick calm so that made for a quick ride out. It was pretty much non stop catching all day. Unfortunately, the sharks were relentless. It seemed like every third fish we hooked would get "sharked" (meaning the shark would either eat the whole fish or just bite you off). We caught at least 30 False Albacore, 7 Blackfin Tuna, a handful of seabass, and a stud trigger fish. After getting in we rushed home. To gear up to fish today (December 28th) for one of the two days of the Mid Atlantic Rockfish Shootout.
December 28, 2014
We had bad luck from the start. We woke up this morning and with the tide being so low we couldn't get the boat off the lift. So, with a late start, we finally set out the gear. With not much fish, or bait marks, it didn't look to promising. We made a move and got into some better marks. It wasn't long before we got a bite but we were unsuccessful and the hook later pulled. That seemed to be the name of the game for us today, we pulled the hook off 4 fish and landed one fish around 25 lbs. so with the 2:00 pm deadline and not having anything competitive we called it a day. We headed home to clean the fish from the day before. Congrats to all the winning teams of the Mid Atlantic Rockfish Shootout.
