| "There is no losing in fishing. You either catch or you learn. Either way, it’s better than work. Work is for people who can’t fish." - Stephen Leacock Lines at the ready. Unknown offshore reef. Mid-Atlantic Ocean, 6/25/2022. |
Been a few since we were last able to do some offshore reef fishin'. Pandemic and all. But, finally got a trip arranged with DP, my neighbor. Headboat fishing off the Morningstar. 25-30 miles out. Part of the OC Reef Foundation, also did a little reef addition. Calm ride out. So calm initially the lines were slack at first, but as soon as the tide changed and the wind picked up the lines began tightening up and it was "Fish on!" Bangin' strikes including multiple double headers. Caught ourselves a cooler full of black sea bass, and a couple ling cods. Winning day. A bit of a bump and a cooling wind for the ride home. Cold beers waitin'. Stoked trip.
