One trip you slam them, the next trip they have

This past week saw some very good porgy fishing on a few of the trips off Old Field. 20-25 feet of water on the rocks had some good sized scup. The hard moving current either direction was the best. Action slowed for Saturday's trips. The CQIII had some good action on bunker chunks though as many very large blues were landed. Fluking has been excellent the past few days at B11 and B9. Tons of fish mostly 18-20 inches but
