5 Hour Live Bait stop at Westport!

The weather was fair this weekend we had a small swell but wind and fog were  issues at times.
The off shore wind started blowing late in the day Saturday and  blow all day on Sunday.
Our overall fishing was very good this weekend.
The best bite times were from daylight till10 am and from 4 pm till dark. The middle of the day was very slow for most.
The troll bite was very slow  this weekend, but cedar plugs fished way back continued to work for us when nothing else was.( x raps and clones were very slow this weekend)
The live bait bite was great if you could get them started, but it took a bit of work to get them going.
after ending the day with a great bait stop on Saturday we were heading back to the same area when we spotted a few jumpers. We slid into them with live bait and it was game on!
We spent the next five hours on a bait stop the fishing was so good that 2 1/2 hours in to the stop a commercial jack pole boat moved into our stop and started pulling fish, it was the first time I have ever seen a commercial boat move in on a sport boats stop. I did not know how that was going to turn out, but it was cool to see and it did not seem to affect our stop, the jack pull boat moved on  after a while and we just kept on catching. We got 69 fish on that one stop and ended the day with 74 tuna!
