Great write up Tyler… Even better fish!!!
What a nice guy… You’ve got to stop identifying with us miserable souls who found no love from WSB.
Pretty cool trip, epic for you!! We have nothing to feel bad about - 3 days in a row we hit it pretty hard, dawn to dusk . We were seeing them from the day 1, but they didn’t seem to be willing to chew like they did on our last trip. You found one
hack of an exception with that mega lamb, sweeeeeeet!!
Thick fog on our way there (btw – we had the same thing good part of the drive back, that was reeeeal pain):
Thick fog on the 1st day – we saw the swell was way smaller than the last time, it was still somewhat tense not being able to see where the bigger set may be breaking… :shock:
Here’s the full shot of Andy’s B-Day present… Adi’s mega croaker:
All 3 days, we were very fortunate with the mild swell and light winds… OK, maybe the launch on the 3rd day was a bit on a wild side… The swell was amazingly low most of the time. Brad, the fish raping/swell breaking machine that he is, managed to pick the worst sets to go through on a couple of occasions… He still made it seem like a piece of cake…
Typical swell that some more patient of us had to deal with:
Water temps were in the same range like last month – high 50ies early in the morning, going up to 67 late rin the day. That place definitely holds some Clamb – being there when they want to play or getting them to go is the tricky part. In 3 days, I caught three 12 inch greenies that had big WSB jaw freshly healed footprint over the side of their body – I need to say no more.
Congrats again to you Tyler! You and Patrick came a long way for doing this people that paddle thing for less than a year.
Good times, too bad no lamb for the rest of us. Next time!
