Pretty calm when you can see the boat reflection in the water from that distance.

pretty sure that’s a buddy of mine and not me.

Pic was taken Sunday morning

Yeah, we were both out on Sunday. Fishing was slow. Landed 1 23” and lost a double digit way behind the boat.

Anybody been out recently with any reports?

I was in Hawaii for 2 weeks but it sounds like it was pretty slow for the most part. I do know of a 12lb and a 19lb caught last week. Both on the same day I believe.

I’ll give it a go this weekend. Any idea if they were Bucktailing?

Lots of fish with bucktails lately and some decent ones like Matt is saying. Water has been like glass too.

Awesome - I’ll report back at the end of the weekend. Any colour suggestions?

Black/white ghost and grey ghost, root bear, I’ve also found dark mcfly in black with a tinge of red works well.

A bit lumpy out there today. Went 1 for 3. Should have landed 2 but hit a double header with this guy and just put the other rod in the holder as it felt smaller. 29.5” fatty. Gave him a quick weigh in the net but it was tough to get a good read with the slop. We’ll say 13lbs.

Beauty! I went 1 for 2 in about 2.5 hours of fishing. 3” plug at 50 ft and missed a good hit on a grey ghost. Fishing in front of Carr’s.
