Spring Blackfish

[live bait]

Got out yesterday morning for a try at the April Black Fish, in the eastern sound. Weather started out decent, then turned nasty about 9AM with wind against tide made for tough anchoring. Made 4 or 5 drops from 40' & worked my way to the last 18' drop. Ended up with 2 shorts, & headed for the ramp after working on a stuck anchor for about 20 min. finally got it out. Now looks like 17/25 west north west, & rain on Monday for the fluke opener.

Stuck anchors are the worst. At least you got it out.
