Wasn't on my Yak today but wanted to share!

Woke up this morning and contemplated to hit the cold morning water or to go back to sleep in my warm bed :Confused: Finally found the strength to change and head to one of my favorite AO. Got into the water about 8am. High tide was at 9:30am with about 5 feet of water, my preferred conditions for this AO. Threw my barred surf perch LC for about 15 minutes then rod went bendo! After a quick fight beached and released a nice 13" perch and skunk off! Worked the beach for another twenty minutes then got another good slam, headshake means halibut! Beached up a nice 18" flatty then back into the waters it went. Was throwing the Lc for another half hour with no takes so i decided to switch to my favorite candy sardine LC. Threw it for about 15 minutes then my rod went bendo again! Got a big head shake as my eyes widened :Shocked: The waves were about 2-3ft and next thing you know the flattie swims in towards me with the wave and its sitting almost right next to me. I quickly back peddle and beach my personal best 34" halibut! =]
