10/10 Other Places
![]() ![]() Yesterday I was back to the sea, fished solo launching at 1st light in SMB. Overcast with light winds, water felt warmer than the air at 71 degrees. Tons of bait, greenbacks from 6-10 inches, premium bait with 6 coming up on the sabiki at a time. ![]() I worked 1 high and 1 low moving around the edges of all that bait. Slow morning with 1 big sandbass released. Running out of time as I planned to be to work before noon. I was in the middle of eating a banana,(yes BANANA!) when the dropper loop that was laid out in front of me bounced, I dropped the banana and grabbed it, thumbing the spool, it took off. Popped it in gear for a instant big drag slipping BENDO and memorable sleigh ride. My first thoughts were batray, but usually they come to the surface eventually, this one was running down and away. After a long crazy run I started getting all my line back with little fight left in the fish. I got very optimistic at this point and down right stoked at color. Easy floater gaff shot and dragged on board. Popped a gill, pulled the turbo fins and paddled in. 45 pounds.

Nice work on the "Jailbirds" Andy!
All summer long with my proximity to Castaic (and annual 'day permit'), any day I thought I may up to it the forecast has been for temps in the triple digits. Been dying to take pictures of the lake @ low water to document the contours and structure (also catch "Kong Island"). Then also to catch my first double digit (20+Lb'er) "on the fly" in my Outback (always been excited about the thought of 'that' sleigh ride and 'PB' ![]() Maybe with the lower temps this week, I might be able (hopefully) to at least get out! ![]() Does that pic of you ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Can I assume caught somewhere close to work (maybe 'the southbay'?) ![]() Is it just me or do you most times find a way to start your day with a good a.m. excursion? Again, congrats on all the quality fish! ![]() FFY Last edited by FlyFishinYakr; 10-11-2014 at 02:54 PM. Reason: Grammatical correction.. |

Even at $3.50 a gallon, that is enough to buy a used fishing kayak with accessories. If you didn't already have one Adi.
