02/22/2009 Offshore Fishing Report

Hit the water about 11am with Chris and his dad. Started a drift in 110' with a strong current. The fish were biting almost every drop but they must have been small as none got hooked. After losing sardine after sardine with no fish to show for it we decided to head out deep to about 5 miles offshore and troll for dolphin. We saw a few birds but nothing was doing so we came back in close and had some success in 70' off of singer island. Mr. Calabrese stepped it up under pressure and boated this nice spanish mackerel however between the three of us we lost about 10 others that could have made a nice feast. All in all it was a reasonably calm day with a light north-northwest wind.
