A Day that almost Didn't Happen w/pics 11/1/09

[JPSURF]

Well left the house around 8:15am h well: and headed to Seal Beach. Spent 20 minutes looking for a parking spot :no: . F-this i was saying and on my last circle a spot had opened up so i thought lets do this. As you all know i haven't been out for what seems like forever. I left the waders in the truck with beautiful sunshine conditions T-shirt and Swim shorts :wave: .
I paddled out to a spot that i always fish and usually have good luck. After a few casts got this little sandy on the swim bait!!

Fished there for about 40 minutes and farmed a couple. Right before i was going to head out the rig i had a TJW deadsticked and it went bendo. This Sculpin hit the deck!!

Did i mention how nice of a day it was!!!!! I was sweating with my pfd on!!!!!

Water was ranging from 61' to 64 degrees with some small spots of what looks to be a red tide.
Got this Sandy next out at the rig working between lobster traps.



Once again i get hit hard on the Deadsticked TJW and this one is taking some drag. Fought for a couple minutes and brought this on the deck.


Went just over 19 1/2 but had some gerth.
The 2 weapons for the day

Hopefully i wii be getting out some more to add to the reports!!

nice fishies! similar colors on the baits too, they must have liked that combo.

just noticed your weed guard isn't trimmed. might wanna cut it down a little bit, it will increase your hookup ratio
