On BlueSteel's 6th birthday, Andrew and I hit the inlet despite calls for 3-5' seas. We got to the ramp by 6am and were rewarded with 6 free goggle eyes from a nice charter boat captain! After this score Andrew and I thought we were all but gaurunteed his first Sail however after seeing one free jump before sunrise we did not see another. We did manage one +/-8lb Dolphin on a Goggle Eye and a 15lb Bonita. Other than that it was pretty quiet despite perfect conditions. Our only thought was that the Sailfish Derby earlier in the week put a dent in the Sailfish bite. Either way we were just happy to be out there and to kickoff the new year and break in the new rods with a decent dolphin!
Conditions:
NW/N Wind - 10-15mph
Murky water
Air Temp 70 degrees
Water Temp 78 degrees offshore/75 inshore
Sunny/Partly cloudy
Huge rains earlier in week created dirty water near shore
Strong North Current in close to shore all the way out
Dolphin caught in 160'
