Cap Du Sur 5-29

Ahhhhh the smell of the Cap in the morning.  FLAT AND CALM! GLASSY SURF VERY VERY VERY SMALL!!! Windswell virtually nonexistent.  Warm weather, no complaints.

Had a steady stream of scraps & then the Bulls arrived.  21" Verm, 20" Verm & another Pig of  a Ling @ 31" & very fat feisty fish!!!  Fished in 40-70 FOW w/ a swimbait & squid tip.

The Verms fought pretty well as far as Verms go & the Ling took 3 impressive runs.  1st run was 15 yards across the bottom, 2nd straight down, 3rd run straight down again.  Actually took around 4-5 minutes to bring him up, as soon as he took some line he went on a the runs, probably thought he could fight his way back down!  He went for 3 or 4 death rolls in the boat, seems like all the fish were pretty fired up & Bullish for some reason.

Beautiful warm day.

Great report and pics, PJ.  I always love your velvety water shots - it's all corduroy up here!  Gotta love the rubber-coated bike hook gaff too!

Took the words right outta my mouth  That is something my father would do. Why buy something when you can make it out of something you already have 

Great report and pics. Thanks for sharing.

It's like a friend of mine said, "there are those whose parents grew up during WWII & those who didn't". He used to have to take his stale bread & throw it out somewhere other than his house, so his parents wouldn't find it in the trash.

Don't live in Denmark, but I am a good part NORWEGIAN BABY!!!!  Maybe it's my mind that is stuck there.

The whole sea-faring, far-off subterfuge thing is in my blood!!!!   That & I read a book called "The Ocean Almanac" too many times, it has a ton of stories about fishing days of ole.  Spaniards caught epic fishing for decades & kept it a secret, eventually someone followed them to the Flemmish Cap & Grand Banks.  Haven't found the Grand Banks yet but I think it's somewhere in the vicinity of the Bixby Bridge.

fantastic AND responsible reporting! thats how its done without over exposing the haunts.
thanks for the fish porn!

beautiful photos!
