fished the morning after the new moon on monday.... this my first attempt at thresher fishing......
got on the water at 8 am arriving late due to the fact that i left my paddle and had to go back for it....i was pretty pissed off.. unsure if i was gonna still go, my bed was calling my name...luckly i had some kush! hahah!
it took for ever to make bait, dident think i was gonna be able to. got lazy and driffed my sabiki rig.....the rig gets slamed and starts spooling me, using my 8lb spottie rod...i start tripin thinkin to my slef this is no bait fish...10 mins go's by and it coler and its a dam bat ray all tangled in my rig!hahah stupid thing...what a mess he made..

tossed back out and right a way six perfect green backs!
yes! about time....
on my way heading south a hour in to the troll my clicker screams zzzzzzz!zzzzzzzzzz!!!!zzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!! reach back set the hook and game on a HUGE thresher jumping ever where...sooo bad asssss!!!!!!!i was worried and confident at the same time,i had fresh 40lb but i was fishing a j hook and i knew my line was rubing against his teeth.damit busted.....IMMEDIATELY my 20lb starts zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz bam! HOOK UP going on my first slay ride.. this fight was different...thresher no jumps??? huh? about 15 -20 mins later it come up!and its a nice wsb!
im sooo stoked out there screaming and yelling!!!hahha yes about time....
my first wsb!!!!! and my first thresher hook up! what a day!

Un-reel Grass!

Is that real grass in your yard?

Perfect as your WSB, that stuff looks good enough for a golf course.

Congrats and the daily-double!

You drive to LJ to catch fat YT or float around aimlessly for hours, and or drag your bait across other peoples lines....

Otherwise you do as you did,, stick close to home, find the bait and then . But you should be careful not to let people in on the secret, there are fish in other places than LJ.....

on a great adventure and fish.
