Had a fun day on the water today. Caught 4 bass three keepers. A 14.5 sandbass, a 15 sandbass and a PB 16" (2lbs on the nose) Calico Bass.

Was wide open off the pt. in the Morning. The tide was moving out quickly. I also had a few get caught up in kelp and/or farmed them. (still learning).

Used my new 6500 abu garcia. Had a blast this morning. bite shut down with the tide. Beautiful sunshine.

Also my first time out in my Trident 15 Prowler.

yeah, didn't notice that before...my dog does look like shes up to no good there. Thinking of taking her with me next trip since I have a more stable ride. She can last the 3-4 hr. I fish in the morning. I'll just leave the bait tank at home and chuck plastic. Love the way I can wing that chovie out there far with my abu reel. They were hungry today! Should have probably caught double what I did today. Rookie mistakes... maybe shoulda thrown plastics. Forgot my damb pliers. Need to be in the H20 when the getting is instant ca-blamb!!! Was happy the new yak has good what you guys call it...juju??? Was fun. Been out about a dozen times in the homemade yak...but, this day was the most fun.

Today, I made a classic error. I decide I'm gonna try a white weedless sledhead right. Saw a guy post a pic the other day with a bass hanging a white plastic out it's mouth. So, I grab this thing ... I start puting squid smellyjelly all over it. And I chuck it overboard without TYING it to my line. I'm like damb, that was a waste of tackle. Fishing makes you feel special ed sometimes. And, kinda right now...I'm half baked and wobbly at work (night custodian) but - when else are we gonna have time right? That's why God invented coffee?
