My buddy Dan and I had lines in the water at 6:00 am joining about 25 boats that made their way to Possession before first light. It was relatively calm with a slight breeze and there was lots of activity on my fish finder, but as the morning progressed we came to realize that majority of it was bait. We ran cut plug herring behind a green Hot Spot and a Brad’s Cut Plug behind the same for the first hour without a bump. From there we switched to Coyote spoons in a couple different colors and by 9:00 still nothing. So we decided to change directions to silvers and headed over to the Shipwreck joining 4 other boats doing the same. We had caught and released several kings in front of the Shipwreck during the last pink season so we hoped maybe we would find a taker of either species there. After about an hour there we trolled across the shipping lanes and made our final pass in front of the Bait Box before calling it at 11:30. I know that reports have indicated that the afternoon bite has been productive at times but other engagements for the early afternoon awaited both of us so back to the launch we went. Before removing my boat we spoke with the fish counter who told us they had counted a large number of boats and only 4 silvers were recorded and the parking lot was still nearly full. I would estimate there were 70+ boats out on the water in the area we fished so obviously unless you were one of the lucky few, fishing was poor. I’m looking forward to the silver run and crabbing one more time next weekend before the summer season closes.
