We ended up on the 3/4 day out of Dana. I guess the Voyager skipper thought it was going to be a cruddy day on the water. It was cold and there was a south wind, but it wasn't horrible. I finshed off he day w/ 3 legal calicos. One was on a live squid and 2 were on a 4" Hammer dark brown backed w/ a rootbeer & gold flake belly. These last two were on the last stop, plus three shorts. After 7 hrs of fishing for a couple shorts and one legal, I pull 5 total in 30 min. I guess I should've tried that color sooner.

Over all, it was very slow. 9 bass for 10 people, 1 halibut, a couple mackerel, and a couple johny bass. I was fun though. A friend of mine who I've hung out w/ for 20yrs is moving out of state, so it was good just hanging w/ him.

Tournament at Shelter Island tomorrow. Hopefully I can place again, I'd like to solidify my lead a bit more. Alright, a lot more. You guys have fun at the bbq. Maybe I'll make the next one.
