Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

Out with Dad and my Son and Uncle today.
Dad wanted to get some oysters,I wanted to use my dredge and rope cos I know it works in the deep water where they are. He wanted to use his.

He brought his longline....baited with 100% squid....sigh.
Conditions were very average.
First tow a dozen nice oysters but not much shell and stuff and I suspect the dredge was flying half the time due to water pressure on the rope and 2m plus swell and chop.
Next tow other direction one clump of 3 oysters and nothing else...tow 3 nothing.
As the tide started to run it just wouldn't stay on the bottom.

Into the coast to try for a cod....too rough too windy drifting too fast lines in prop....fuck this let's go pick up the longline....two sand Sharks and all the rest of the baits untouched in my shit hot gurnard longline spot.
Oh and a floatline round the outboard this time.
At least we weren't the only ones struggling.....big boat there struggling with a line caught round either their rudder or prop...cruised over to see if the needed any help then bashed our way back towards Delaware.
Managed to scrape up some gurnard then surf our way back in over the bar without hitting the prop
Dad says thanks for the Cray Joe.
