People:me
Duration:1400-2000
Tide:hw@1805
Weather:sunny with broken cloud
Bait:frozen mack, lug, squid
dd
Rigs:pulley
Results:1 1.5lb trigger, 1 small pollack, 1 dog
Report:
wouldnt have bothered doing a report only for getting the trigger. fished a new mark which i had been given for ray and huss but it was quite today with only a dog showing to the bottom baits. the trigger was interesting.went over to a rock point to cast a shad to see if there was any pollack around, first cast about 8 triggers folloed it back in. this resulted in some frantic rig making.unfortunately they moved off but 2 more moved out from under the overhang i was standing on. these didnt have any interest in the small bits of mackeral i had offered them but seemed more intent in trying to figure out what my swivel was. i even managed to get one to follow it to the surface where it stuck most of its head out of the water.
eventually one of them too the bait and a short fight ensued with me landing my first trigger of the year.only small but glad to get him.
i recast and a big mullet started showing interest in my bait after 2-3 mins of playing with it he eventually took and a firm strike resulted in it running about 30 yards. this fight lasted about 5 minutes when i got him into a shallow bay where i was just about to beach him when he made one last dive and the 6lb hook length parted. i wont repeat what i said
..looked about 5-6lbs, very broad and deep. was amazing to watch them take the bait in crystel clear water less than a rod length away

Congrats on the trigger lumpy 
itching to get one of them babies myself 
Unlucky with the mullet but i'm guessing you'll be fishing that mark again real soon
