Went bottom fishing yesterday. Left Shem Creek a little after 7:00 with a full load in my little boat, myself and three others. Met an awesome ocean when we broke the rocks and ran around 32mph most of the day, nice smoothe swells. Stopped off at 70' and didn't really do squat so I pushed on out to 100' and started knockin'em down. Caught only a few bsb's but the ones we caught were gorillas, limit of b-liners, some of the biggest white grunts I've ever seen, a few stinky pinkies, several ARS, about 4 small gags that wouldn't measure, and TRIGGERS! I have never caught so many trigger fish in my life! We were covered up with them. Caught more triggers than anything else. I don't understand. ??? Then came the kicker fish. Set out a drift line and caught 3 out of 5 kings while bottom fishing. It was crazy fighting these fish with 3 others on my little boat, it was funny watchin' all these beer drinkers dance around the boat clearing stuff out of the way. Headed back in at 10-5:00 and the wind picked up and got a little snotty. Nasty ride in. My buddy decided to use my windshield as a handle and broke that almost in half. Then I took spray in the face for the last 45 minutes of the ride in. Tied up at Red's for a few rounds and headed home. Full day. Had a blast.
