SD Bay 10/20/19
Made it out yesterday morning a little late, on the water at about 10AM, planned to fish for bass and drift for halibut. Made 1 sardine so that put a damper on my meat fishing. Strung him up anyways and sent him to the bottom. After a few hours of no luck something felt like it was nibbling the sardine, i brougth it up and it was bloody and head was smashed, figure it may have been a bass that wasnt big enough to take the whole fish up to the hook. Idk. Anyway, since it was my only bait i just left it on for the paddle back in. about 5 minutes later my real started screaming. I engaged the reel and slowly turned up the drag until iw as certain the hook had set (circle hook truther), and the fight was on. Ended up bringing in a nice sized bat ray on an old rod and reel combo my grandfather gave to me a while back.
