The Fishing Line  
By: Capt. Billy Pipkin
February 6, 2010

After the "Last" snowstorm we all worried about whether the rockfish would continue to bite. Well the first day after the storm proved to be one of the best fishing days of the season out of Rudee Inlet.

Monday February 1st
Morey Cohen,his friend Aubrey and crew experienced an unbelievable day aboard the "Liquid Assets II"

Behives of gannet birds were seen from miles away and when we finally arrived at them the action was OFF THE HOOK! (probably not a good term for fishing action huh?) Well, the fish were munching every presentation that we tossed at them and gave us action so hot and heavy that the guys were just plain worn out.
All I heard all day was "FISH ON!"
I went to bed that night dreaming of how awesome our day was. Then the next morning I woke up with high expectations of another great day of fishing...

Tuesday February 2nd
This day Roman Sprouse and crew saw action that few anglers would believe and all would surely dream about. They enjoyed much of the same action only 4 miles from where we had them the day before. Action was wide open with the same results: Plenty of 20-30 pound rockfish and tired anglers. Only this day found one Citation size rockfish at the end of the line.
A 44 pound rockfish measuring 47 inches in length topped the great day off with a citation!

The rest of the week fell in the shadows of the 'grand opening' after the storms, but we did have good action mixed throughout with only one day where we struggled a bit to find them.
Overall, this season has been successful but curiously different in that the fish haven't been very close to home. But then again, it is only a funtion of Time and Fuel to find them.
As I always say, "They can run but they can't hide!"

This weekends trips have been cancelled due to high winds. We will resume our schedule of "FISH MAULING" on Monday morning.

Keep warm, be safe and until next time...Fair winds.

 Stay tuned for more updates this week.

Come on down to Virginia Beach and join me in a wonderful day of fishing and fun aboard the Liquid Assets II. The available dates are listed above this article.
