I launched around 6:00am, metered lots of bait hanging around 80-90ft in 120ft deep water. Worked a 6xjr on one rod and 99 ranch market squid on another until about 8:00am and then bailed to get to work. Caught one sandy on the squid. The landing was tricky, I timed it good and chased in a smaller wave but still got dumped in 3ft water by some rogue backwash wave. I had stored all my gear inside so no heartbreak.
BTW, I saw a guy who lost a rod/reel Sunday night, Jim Sammons found it Monday morning, hope you hook up. |

picked the right set to launch that turned out to be bad. Sat in the surf for a few sets and got out. Trolled a rapala around, nothing but weeds.
Saw the birds working the corner of the northwest buoy. Landing was hairy, especially the 3 footer that blind sided from the south. Landed wet, but up. Maybe time to eat calico's for Friday's taco. |

Art, sorry I didn't realize that was you out there and say hi. My eyes suck. Heard your warning about the launch as I was heading in. Very nasty short period crap. Making bait at the pier was like being on a rollercoaster; some of the big rollers gave that falling feeling. Hate those high tide landings when it's like that.
Might sneak out early tomorrow for a PM ghost/bug session, otherwise my next shot is probably Thurs AM. |

Brad;
no problem. I saw you out there - but was too lazy to paddle. Did you see my friend "big John" McVey? He's in a sunset colored prowler. He has an internal bait tank. I'll be out Friday. AC |

Did you hear the guys yelling ya-hoo around 7:00am? I thought it was someone hooking a fish until I saw it was those two paddle board guys that launched from the Shores. They were riding swells about 1/4 to 1/2 mile off Boomers. They both caught a couple and then paddled back to the Shores. I wouldn't have believed it....
Off topic: On Sunday, the dogs were flipping me off. Look closer at the middle of this picture, that section is coming down soon. I shared a couple photos with the owner, not much he can do about it. He lost a big chunk of his back yard several years ago. |

Thanks for the extra squid there plastic skipper. Same kinda story for me, yo yo'd in 110-120 for most of the day and then moved into 60, 70 near the kelp for nuthin. I concur with the landing conditions, kept it upright but had to eject a little early.
