radastaff · 04-06-2008, 10:33 AM

hit up my local spot
for an all dayer
8am to 5pm
noticed a shit load of boats
then i remebered
hali derby
ahhhhhh

decided to head south
and pray for favorable winds for later

started out cloudy and cool and calm
avg wave action
but swell was bumpy for the morning
later it mellowed out considerbly
and wind was as i had hoped...light and mostly onshore
also the sun made an appearence
for partly cloudy skys

fished along the coast
for 1 small sandy
before heading out a few mi to the reefs
all small fish this outing
sand bass, calicos and about 10-12 copper rockfish
12" was the typical

got rocked twice on the big ass basstrix swimmy
set the hook past the barb
and broke em off
pretty sure one was a big ass bass

no hali for me

radio chatter
gave me the impression
that there was a lot of hali skunking goin on
but that might just have been trickin

guess theres always next time

typical critter

conditons at landing
it was frickin nice out
