A beautiful day with a slight swell, probably around 3 foot. Water temperature around 58 degrees, give or take, depending on where you were. More 'yakers out than you would expect for a weekday in February - Ray, Fireman Tim, Baytubers' Patrick and Kenny, Andy

and a few whose names I don't know. Several good fish (way to go Patrick!), a few leopards, and sandbass/calicos all around.

Iceman · 02-13-2012, 08:27 AM

beauty! and a beautiful day out there. I found one big enough to feed the family, but not the whopper you got!

HELLSTER INC. · 02-13-2012, 08:39 AM

Where did you launch from Andy!

Iceman · 02-13-2012, 09:45 AM

Usually Baby Beach, but Steve offered to pay the $10 and launch from the boat launch, it shortens the trip up a bit, but the locked bathrooms were a little inconvenience!

Beautiful Flatty

I thought this area was closed for fishing?if not I've been missing out.

DannyN · 02-13-2012, 01:42 PM

Nice catch again John

DanaPT · 02-13-2012, 03:28 PM

I'm getting my stuff together, I'm betting her big and uglier sister is still out there.

That 'shortened' trip saves me an hour paddle (out & back)

It's worth my $10!!

21lbs is one nice halibut. Congratulations. What part of the coast is this?
Thanks.

That was a nice fish!!!!! It was pleasure meeting up with you. I need to learn from an expert a point or two, how to attract a bigger fish.
