Got out last night after work for a few hours. Landed a couple macs on the troll out for the next bug session, and released a good sized slimer.
Once the tide started heading out the water was moving nicely, just not the bugs. Wound up taking 4, with 2 of them being nice size. Caught maybe twice as many shorts. Slow crawl, but I got lucky. Big moon last night may have something to do with it, but who knows.
Pulled my nets 8 times, all in the 25-35 foot range. On the last pull there were macs swimming all over the place. Thick as the LJ kelp, and it just happened that I left my sabiki at home. Tried getting them to eat a swim bait, but got no love. Wont make that mistake again.
Saw 3-4 destroyer type vessels run in and out of the bay, and a huge hover craft do the same, all after dark. Made for a fast paced, tense paddle back to the launch.
