This One Didn't Get Away

Fishing out at Tables on the 8 footer again! Setup a little bit further north and landed 4 Calicos. This was just outside the main break. Found a nice little kelp spot sitting further inside from the large beds. So many bites! As I was securing my third fish I left my lure in the water and accidentally let it sink. BANG, reeled it in and ended up with my biggest catch yet! LOL. Three around 5 pounds or so and the lucky one was around 8-10. Woohoo! I think I gotta let the under ten pounders go now...;-P.


12:00pm
Water Temp: 63 degrees
Air Temp: 70 Degrees
Weather: Sunny and Clear; Wind was Breezy
Tide: Low and Rising
Surf: not bad it was about 4-5 out there.

P.S. Used the Trilene knot on the lead line and a couple ties on the trimmed line to secure. Left about inch of trimmed line for any slippage. I like this knot. Hung on even when pulling hard against hook-ups with the reef flora.

Spring Fish

Awww yeah. Rigged the 8 foot sponge board with a basket and went fishing! Lingered halfway in between the kelp beds and the shore at Tables. It was a good spot this mid morning. Got a small Calico and it was enough for a meal. Half an hour later a couple pulls yanked my bait of the line so looks like they're biting out there! Can't wait to land a ten pounder! ;-)
Tide: Low and was Rising
Temp: 62
Weather: Sunny and clear.

A Return To South Pillbox

Wow, 3 hour sesh! Nice little left coming through on the south side. Was chasing it a bit paddling back and fourth but worth it. Floatie was the move of the day and some cover up stuff.
