Bald Eagle 8/16 on Legacy

Good bite between 475 and 525 this morning. Most fish hit center rigger down 78 pulling meat and 300 and 350 copper did some damage as well. Best fish of the day was a high 14’s bow. Had our four man limit by 9:30. All kings and bows.

Nice fish Bill. I saw your rig in Tom's shop. Hopefully it will be back in the water soon.

You are welcome on my boat .

Thanks Cornelis love to go almost any weekday. My motor is leaking oil. Looks like it needs a lower crank seal which I guess is fairly involved.

That is what Tom said in addition to his opinion about salt water engines. Anyway, your engine is in good hands.

We whacked them outside as well today, though we were late to the game, having started inside. The highlights were a 12 lb steelie tearing it up 20 ft off the stern and a pod of kings raging on the surface that grabbed a few wire rigs as we passed by them. Dive, baby, dive. We were just past the 30 line off Devil's Nose.
