It's a fact. Sometimes, fishing is hard. Our half-day trip the past weekend was one of those times.
It's not that we didn't find fish. I trolled one of my regular spots, and we did get strikes and hook-ups, but getting a king mackerel to the boat can be tricky, even for experienced fishermen. The fish we did manage to land had to be released, as they were just a little bit short of the size requirement. Still, it was a beautiful day to be on the ocean, and the guys took advantage of the calm, clear seas to jump in and have a swim. It never fails, though, that the biggest fish of the day hit a bait while the fishermen were all in the water.
Wrapped up the evening near shore, trolling for Spanish mackerel... where the guys caught the most lizard fish I've ever seen on one trip. Unfortunately, lizard fish are not a target species. The seas were really picking up at this point, so we did not have a lot of time to fish. Ended up with a couple of Spanish to take home, but the results were nothing like previous trips.
Nevertheless, the guys had a blast. I think the deep ocean swim was the highlight... just one way to turn a slow day into a fun trip.
