Thanks to sewer and lollipop for putting this together. As you can tell from the showing versus the tally of actual fish caught there was a lot of hype going into this event. Despite this, like always, I had alot of fun fishing, talking fish, and seeing the sexual tension between the sewer guys. Nice to see Eric and Jim again. Buskid did show up and I did see him cast what looked like a swimbait in the harbor. So I can testify that he is an actual active kayak fisherman. Hats of to Greg for paddling out and catching the winning fish.

Here are my accounts of what happened from the perspective of one of the guys that stuck around the mouth of the harbor. I unloaded my yak onto the ramp and went for a quick bathroom break and by the time I got back half the crew was rounding the corner of the breakwall heading north. I got my ration of lollipops from Robfish and I was on my way. Got to the bait barge and Drake and Robfish were hand picking their bait. I don't blame them as these 'chovies sucked balls. They'd die after 5 minutes of drifting. Caught a couple of calicos very early on at the mouth. Followed some birds to the south for nothing. Got hung up on a bunch of kelp and hooked a pelican with a treble after forgetting that my bait was on the surface. That was the sign to head in the harbor and fart around the bait barge. Ended the day early around 1-130ish as the rest of the crew were coming in.
