Dan · 07-22-2009, 12:23 PM

85ft of water off the point, water temp 72, 10ft green water, flyline greenback, 7ish....a couple of tense moments involving some kelp and 20# line but got him free. Passed my greenies off and booked it to work.

Nice job Dan, That second "leg" (different area) payed off for you! I was hoping for a full shot cause that yellow had some beautiful bright colors....

I think I saw you paddling in around 8:30. From the size of the tail that you held up, that fish look to be pretty good size. Congrats. How much did it weigh?

The rest of us who were out today, did not have as much luck. I did not see anyone on the beach with a fish. All I caught was a couple of macs trolling a lure. Bait was really hard to find but it did not matter. Nothing was biting on live bait anyway.

Whats with the fishing this Summer? I have never seen it this slow.

Its not slow, just not wide open.

Maybe the guys on the beach without a fish on deck are just practicing catch and release

Actually, we had that discussion on the beach. When I asked a few guys what they were going to tell everyone about getting skunked today, one person came up with a great line. We have all become "environmentalists".

Truth be told, most of us have been environmentalists, with gold stars, for many years. I never keep a fish that I do not plan to eat. Last year I kept two. I have not kept any yet this year, (mainly because I have not caught much worth keeping).

Still, it would be nice to be able to say that I caught 25 fish today and let them all go. If I were to say that after today's trip, I would have to take a job in the Government, where telling the truth has a much more loosely defined set of rules.
