After boating down to Wellington, the evening before (and sleeping there), headed out to be around Scotch Bonnet Island and surrounding shoals. Started early before sun up, to take advantage of the very flat water on Thursday.

A fair number of boats driving around in circles, but I saw very little success from them.

I was out until mid after afternoon, nothing landed. Anyone else catching salmon ???

-------------------

A little excitement at noon, when a monster took off with a Dipsy with 140ft of line, in 60ft of water.
Came at the boat and went under it and was pulling off drag. I was fishing solo, so that took a minute to sort out, as rod was folded in half as I tried to get it out of the holder.

Finally, got it behind the boat, but unhappy salmon decided to run out 300ft straight sideways (I was thinking: a couple of "Jaws movie" yellow drums might float up soon).

I was tightening down the drag some more as it approached 400ft of line out, when, as usual, it showed me who's the boss, spat the hook, and left me with only this sad story. But thrilling !!

Based on a 30+ lbs King we landed last year, it would have been similar.

Feels a bit like hitting the green on the 18th hole after a bad day. I'll be back.
