Dana Point 11-5-2013
It was a beautiful sunrise though and I was happy to see the sun come up because I was looking forward to it warming up! As I headed out of the barn I hung a left and headed north. I got a couple meter marks as I passed the first 5MPH buoy. I tossed a plastic on a skirted jig and popped a nice barely legal Sandy. Great way to start the morning but I was seeing bigger meter marks so I dropped a whole defrosted squid on a dropper loop. About 8 seconds after it hit the bottom my rod went bendo and soon I landed my personal best sandy. Decided to head further north past the big rock pile and dropped down some thawed squid to soak while I tossed plastics in the kelp. My clicker started to sing and even after putting my AVET SX in gear line still pulled, at that point I was grinning like the village idiot. Whoever was swimming around at the other end of my line decided to play ring around the rosy with the kelp and after a while I was fighting nothing but kelp. In the immortal words of Homer Simpson, D'oh!! Whatever it was had LOTS of fight, and grunt... Sigh... Oh well, next time. Keep it keel side down guys, hope you all have a great week.

Good job on the PB. Looks like the wind wasn't up much either. Was it offshore when you first paddled out?

Not much wind at all really. Just stinking cold.
