LJ Fri 8/22 Report
Got to the launch around 6:15 - 6:30. On the way on two different radio stations there was an alert for big riptides/currents and 5-7 foot surf. So I was a bit apprehensive.
And what a surprise to see Lake Pacific.... seriously, as small waves as I have ever seen... maybe 1 foot max. No surf, no wind. Just perfect conditions today. Clear water, you could see 15' down no problem. Bait was a bit tough to get. But no power boats, wow! One 14' aluminum, one raft with 5 hp. That was it for PB's. Maybe 6-8 kayaks, so no crowd. After finally getting two nice greenies, and lots of spanish, I headed out. Damn those seals. Just follow and pick off the bait. Anyway, finally just left the kelp area and headed out to sea.... after about an hour.... was that a bite? Yep... tug, tug, not the YT scream. But I set the hook and game on. Hooray! I get a serious sleigh ride for 100 yards or so... what fun, I''m hooked! Yes!!! Fight for maybe 10 minutes, thinking it is at least 20 pounds.... but fought like a WSB, anyway, a serious pull.... darn, strong fish! Right when I almost get to color..... !#$!@#@! my hook pops. My fault !@#$@#$@#!# came untied @!#%$!%!%@ Rats! So frustrated..... my own fault, and I teach my boys to double check each knot. Lesson learned. @!#$!@#$!@# Last part..... the beach was full of beauties at 1:00pm! Seriously.... gotta just go do that sometime. The water was super-clear, the sharks are there at the beach, so at the end I locked my car, took a swim, shower, and went home all fresh. Gotta put that in my schedule more often. Cheers! Summary: Gorgeous day, making greenies not that easy, one bite. Tuna poke tonight from big boat trip, so not that bad off. |
