9/6 carnivorous pinneped....and YTs

[Iceman]

I thought this guy was harmless, hanging around, until he went deep and found my low one. Funny thing, he came back when I had a Yt at color, went up for a sniff and the fish made him shoot off like a lil rocket. Thing was as tiny as I have seen, like 2 feet long. Bait was a bitch at the pier and I only had 6 for over an hours worth of trying. It did not help that the lights were in the middle of the pier, not over one side or the other. My other 5 baits all connected with yellars. Kept a 17 pounder, released 3 6-10 pounders and had one break off at the knot. All between 7:30 and 8:30. Probably could have got more, but ran out of bait. Went in by the point. Big shoals of sardine and smelt with 2-4 pound boneys going at em. I threw the X Rap mackeral on my 8 1/2 seeker for quite a few before heading in. Beautiful morning. Saturday's tourney should be fun. I think 25 pounds will take the YT catagory
