Had the day off today and the rain was not stopping me. Launched in completely flat waves in North County. Saw two groups of about 40-50 birds diving a good 3/4 mile out of the patties but I didn't have my iron and didn't feel like peddling that far haha. Went to my favorite reef and started casting. First cast and I got a fish, good sign. Turned out to be a steady picking of Calico hitting the Warbaits x MC viejo 5" combo. Ended with 12 fish all catch and release of course. Only had about 1 1/2 hours to fish before the wind realllly started blowing!
