7-27 Jack/Queen
Over the squid grounds by 0600. warm water, out pulling current, incoming tide around 7am. light swell and salad. Making squid was easy, had a small bag of fresh dead just in case. The squid grounds was a combination of the plastic navy, and about 15 private boaters. Plus a few coming and going. People yelling at each other (mostly pvt boaters) and threatening each other....I couldn't believe it how rude some of these idiots are. Well, I was out to actually catch fish  not yell at people and deal with drama. So after I made a full bait tank (around 7am) I headed out a few hundred yards and drifted the tower to the point. At around 0730 in 80-90ft, Hooked up to a GIANT sheepshead on live squid with 6/0 ahi twist via dropper loop. Never seen one this big before. She was bleeding like a stuck pig and full of air. Sea Lions wanted a piece of her bad. I wanted to let her go but seeing the condition it was in plus the damn dogs...figured I'd rather have her over for dinner than the feed the dogs. At 0830 I see a nice mark on my FF in the upper water column, it suddenly B-lines down towards my squid at 85ft. Got slammed within seconds of seeing the mark. I couldnt believe I was watching the strike, I had a second or two prepare for it. Very cool experience. Headed in around 10am. the launch picked up and saw some people flip, I had to superman my way in. Totally worth it   Close up  Sheepshead weighed in at 25lbs on digital scale...no joke. YT weighed in around 23lbs... Awesome day. *the date was the 26th, I dont know what day it is anymore. Last edited by Zfish03; 07-29-2013 at 04:35 PM. |

You know it's a good day when your goat outweighs your yellowtail
