Headed out of Davies at 10 a.m. (admittedly late start). Ran into heavy fog bank just as we get the boat into the water, burned off within an hour. Set a route to the 14 mile but never made it (had a friend on board who needed to be back by 2 p.m.). Made it about 6-7 miles southeast of the rigs and turned back. Trolled along the ridge, through the 150, and down past the shoe on the way back home with no biters. Saw a large pod of dolphins near the rigs, and 2 young mola mola cruising together about a mile east from that. Calm water, 74.7 degrees on the surface. Saw a bunch of individual salps in the water too.
Stopped on 2 empty paddies that looked a little too small to hold any life any way.
No pictures unfortunately as I was running and gunning for paddies/foamers.
Ultimately, nice day on the water - no complaints - still trying for those fish. Ran about 63nm using about 28 gal. of gas - not bad for an old Mercury XR4.
