Salvage Job

The customer comes in from San Diego and wants to catch some fish in the Atlantic.
~
The first thing I did was call Mike in DC and check where he and Mark Vona caught the stipers last week.

DiMatteo and Elsier got to Marblehead and we met the customer at the old Sundance Building.

The breeze on the water was stiff and was pushing 2 to 4 foot waves. I decided not to anchor at Ram Island and went to the back side of Baker's Island to get shelter from the waves and chum for stripers. No luck at the spot that we anchored.

I started to head up into Bluefish alley between Baker's and Halfway Rock, but the wave action made trolling uncomfortable.

There was nothing left to do but to salvage the trip by heading into Manchester Harbor for dinner at 7 Central. Luckily there was room at the public tie up at the end of the Harbor. 7 Central has never dissapointed, even though they didn't recognize my Dark and Stormie Card. They said that it was only a Marblehead promotion. Whatever.

After dinner, the waves had calmed down, and we had a pleasant ride back into Salem Harbor.

All in all, a very successful customer event.
