Returned for more abuse at 5:00PM. Got out dry to the buoy and started looking for bait. Couple bones on ther trolled sabiki, kept for strips. Found some spanish and as I was working them I see smelt breaking in a radial pattern. Start heading over and see bigger splashes. Throw the swimbait and it is picked up immediately. Strong run straight into the kelp and that was that. Saw another big boil in the area, then it quieted. Went around the corner to find Mike and Ken having roughly the same luck. Heading back in we saw several large fish that were probably sharks, though on one occassiona I saw something finning that was not the man in the blue suit, might have been tail. Nice evening with friends but we all lamented the lack of consistent fish. Couldn't get up this morning so either an evening run or just rest up for an early morning tomorrow.

Todd sent me the pics of the thresher action. Thanks again Todd, you are my lucky charm and favorite photo beyatch (well, maybe after Ken)
