Half Day Fishing

By tomconley

Took the Saturday 1/2 day overload boat at 4:30pm, perfect weather, limited to 30 people on the Patriot, plenty of room, good fun. Capt Tom had the duty, and a couple rookie deck hands, as I guess this boat was added at the last minute.

Anyway, it was non stop action, dog fish everywhere, somehow, I snuck in 3 sub legal cod, a whiting, a redfish, and only 1 dogfish. Eventully, we did see a few haddock come over the rail. Capt Tom was running around, doing the anchor, undoing tangles and releasing dog’s. I decided that my services were best served giving him a hand re tying lines, releasing dogfish, and helping young kids use the equipment. It was too perfect a night weatherwise to not enjoy myself, and so many kids having such a good time, it was worth it. Great Gloucester sunset concluded the trip. Great people there in Glousta.
