Must've been a drop of water on the lens
probably 142'ish
. The
mark on the fat scully is only discoloration from the ice. These seven reds
were caught within a 20 x 20 square foot area on a rockpile.
Another note, its 4+ miles of travel to that spot from the Shores launch,
and, the Big Rock launch is featuring a challenging 7' vertical drop to the
sand right now.
I also battled a couple short lings on live macks, and broke off or
pulled hooks on bigger models - the bull kelp minefield keeps those fish
pretty safe!
As the water temp drops next month these bottom-grabbers will go into
high gear.
