[madscientist]

Still pissed at myself for not getting up Tuesday morning, I went out hooping only because I had promised to bring the bait. On a loaner yak so I had a bit of a time keeping my nets aboard as I launched. Got nice and wet for the trouble. Once out all was good though. Met up with A&J, the holy mac, and marc and double em. Uhoh. Apparently the double em effect is limited to fish, because the bugs still crawled, though for a very short window. Good to see I still have my sharky touch: pulled in a 2ft horned shark (I think) and a 5ft leopard. I think LJ has been getting too much bug pressure, lots of shorts and almosts.

Got up this morning and got down just a bit later than I wanted. Watched Pat make a remarkably wet launch through fairly small surf. We headed way out where some birds were moving around. The short of it...it never happened. Looked promising for a while and a fish or two may have been spotted but no real action. Sardines everywhere.
