10/26 Surprise

Launched Sunday morning into some heavy surf and light fog. Water was
64.5 and clear/purple outside.

On my way out, I saw some bait on my meter along the kelp in 85 ', so I
grabbed the bass rod and threw a green plastic* - third cast, and
Wham-HOOKUP !

Drag peeling, I figured this was gonna be one helluva momma Calico.

Cute little RAT! Quite a tussle in and out of the kelp on the Calcutta 250 &
straight 30# spectra. Yes the sashimi is good, and the bugs will be
feeding on the recycled head this week in my hoop net.

Finished up with a handful of Reds from MPA-land. Vermillion carcass's
recycles nicely into bug bait too.

One more cast, you're never sure what's next!



P.S. *these guys are back in biz now ... http://www.floridaysfishing.com/5swimmintails.html
