Solo at DP

[Aaron&Julie]

Julie had school, so I went to DP solo, chasing points for the WCW contest. Since she got hers' Saturday, I was hoping for some halibut to close the 140 point gap she has on me (or at least keep pace).

I managed one legal halibut (23") for some catch-n-release points. Here's the photo:



Rather poor photo, I guess I only take good ones of Julie's catches.

The day started slow, with intermitent good-sized waves rolling in. I couldn't fish our favorite spots until about 8:00AM, when the tide was high enough to change the break. Then the action started picking up.

My final tally:

4 short 'buts, released

1 legal 'but, released

2 leopard sharks, released

2 legal sandies, released

3 barracuda, released, 1 probably legal (in the harbor)

1 22" WSB, released (scrappy fighter)

Back at Baby's Beach I met two nice guys in Tim and Donovan, fellow yakkers. Off the the water by 1:30PM, early by our standards.

At least I had some points, to keep Julie from blowing me away.
