I'm sure he does, he's got the hot stick right now. He drives a loooooong way to fish so he deserves every fish he catches.

P.S.
Never try to thumb a small WSB, they have sharp teeth.

And don't stick your hands into any WSB's gills. Their gill rakers are worse than their teeth. I've learned the hard way ... a couple of times.

Just in case Goeorge's report did not mention it, we were fishing The PV area. My first time fishing that coastline, what a great place. Excellent rock structure mixed with good help and nice sandy areas in the mix.

Like he said the fish were biting real good on sardines. I got my 5 legals, kept three of them.

Best part, at the end of the day, the wind pushes you right to the parking lot.





P.s. George, I would expect a 10 minute video of your severe thumb injury. I hope insurance covered it.

sounds like a great day, where did you launch from?

We launched from the usual spot. We decided to buy bait instead of wasting time trying to make it and I'm glad we did, it took under an hour to go around the wall but it was well worth it. We could have easily launched on the open side and cut our travel time to roughly 15min but we would have had to make bait and from what I saw there wasn't much of it out there. If and when I do it again I'm sure I'll follow the same plan.

Cool
Matt mentioned PV, but sounds like you were still well within the Pedro city limits.
Congrats on all the fish. good times

George, I can have Roman show you how to hold a Juvenile WSB without using your thumbs...................this is his first WSB this year......

I am not keeping any Hali's for a little while. Family, neighbors and my freezer are all full


They all taste great.

One thing I did notice, open water Hali's seem to put up a bigger fight then inside fish. Iam sure that it's all in my head, but when I was pulling on a 32incher I was already thinking 40inches plus.


For sure we ate gonna hit that place up a lot more.
