First WSB for 2012

Went fishing with Matt this weekend, got bait and made the 3-4mile peddle. As soon as we got into open water we started heading north, it took us just under an hour to get to the spot. Matt fished the outside of the kelp beds while I fished some of the pockets. After about an hour and two setups being lost to the bottom of the ocean i/we decided to move further north.

We found more kelp mixed in with a combination of rock and sand. Again, I opted to fish inside the kelp and peddled through the alleys for one raked bait. Meanwhile, I kept watching Matt get hungup on hali's, one right after the other after a while it was obvious that Matt was in the spot and I was wayyyyyyyy out in left field so I decided to swallow my pride and fish next to Matt. Meanwhile, he continues to bring up 10+ hali's left and right and all I could do was watch. About the only thing that I could be proud of was that Matt was using some new setups that I made the day before. Around noon the wind picked up and the drift began, if you stopped peddling for ten seconds you would drift 50'.

Around 1pm both my rigs come up in a complete tangle, let the frustration begin! I looked at it for 5seconds and said f-it! I cut every single line right where they meet a swivel, hook or sinker. After about a minute or two my first line was baited and in the water and the second line was just about done when I finally hook up!! I bring it up and its a hali, right around 25-28 inches, the skunk was off the yak!

Right around 2pm we decided to let the wind work its magic and we drifted back but not before we decided to fish some kelp. I managed a short hali and my first WSB of the year, it was only 18-20 inches but it was nice to see that although it was a shorty it was in that area. Back on the road around 4pm, home by 6pm.
