It was Good seeing everyone, released a 60ish thresher myself, but that was my only bite for the day. Congrats Paul on the JP fish.

Good times, good seeing everyone.

Bait was easy, spanish all over, some greenies and deans too. I had one big boil early on my fly-lined green, followed by a T-tail on the surface... I promptly reeled my bruised bait in. Later I picked up one short ling.

WCW Numero 21 showed us how to get it done... Here's Jasmin with his "Tito" impression (someone must have told him that he looks good on pics when he turns his head away

)

On my way back, I picked up the fat calico - it hit the spanish on a bounce ball rig.

I just measured inside of my kayak - it must have been over 20". I was in the WSB/YT/halibut mode, didn't even think about JP and released him. I didn't have enough time to make the scales by 12:30 PM anyway.

Congrats all, good fishing in WCW 08.

I showed up at 5:30 and watched everyone unload and launch. My first time at LaJolla and without my fishing buddies I was alittle intimidated. I was hesitant to launch due to the overcast weather, then decided I was already here so lets give it a go. Easy launch (my 4th beach launch ever) so i was feelin good. Paddled to the kelp to make bait, realized I forgot to pack my sabikis. Oh well, I worked the kelp with strips of squid. Caught several little calicos. fished for a few hours and decided to go, them WHAM my pole was bouncin. Started crankin and was stuck in the weeds. 10 minutes of fighting the kelp this fat calico appears

next cast was a decent Sheephead. Headed back in by 10:30, beautiful landing. I felt I had a good day for being a LaJolla rookie

It was pleasure to meet all the peeps I spoke to and hope to meet up again real soon

Too Bad Jasmin didn't get my spot.

Ed Cal; nice goat, sweet calico. I'm cooking cali tacos tomorrow. My taco sauce is mayo, sweet chili sauce and hot(red rooster) chili sauce. yum yum.
