Thanks for another good day fishin Jim. Too bad we didn't join that tourney........that sand bass would have won that division for sure. Oh well. That fish is still there getting bigger after the succesful release
Great watching that fish realize I was no longer holding on to it and take off for the bottom with a good tail slap to say good buy. That was a HUGE turdroller for sure. It was a little over 24 inches and very heavy.
Fishing was pretty good.....even with the slight tide movement that went to slack while we were on the water. The big sandy bit just as the tide started to move again. Lots of other bass and a twenty four inch butt to take for ceviche.
Did get checked on the water by DFG. Everything in order and they sent us on our way. The only problem was the chick on the navy patrol boats. She kept buggin us about being too close to the island. Said we needed to stay 100yrds from shore. No problem....we could do that. But sometimes the drift takes you that way and when you get close you move again. Everytime I would be just inside the 100 yrd zone she would come over and hassle me. I saw a guy almost beching his yak he was so close and she never said a word to him. Good thing she was very cute and I didn't get an attitude. Maybe the good fishing also had something to do with it.
Great day finished off with a good cigar and good times with the wingman.
