I'm glad you had a good day Hothead.
It helps to have a good attitude to begin with, good for you helping someone out and everyone working together to have fun because that is what it's all about. Congrats on your PB.
It's easy to give up, it takes effort to man up and face the challenges, sometimes you have to approach things a bit different. Then again, sometimes the others messing up your fishing just cannot or will not budge and you wind up go someplace else. It happens.
Good to hear most had a good time.
After Friday and Sat. there for me not catching, I decided to try elsewhere Sunday before dawn as the tide was good, well no love there all I got was windburned, cold and wet. Left after a couple hours of flogging the water and headed to the big river, I got a message guys were bailing fish at a spot east end so I parked and got on my bike, never made it that far east as I saw rods bent and found enough room between guys at an outcropping to my left and a couple fishing to my right who turned out to be Charlie Cinto and his friend Janet who was fishing the canal for her first time, she was tied into a high 20's fish and landed her first canal bass. I managed 3 fish that I took pics of and entered in the gotight tourney, they swam away alive and well. Lost a monster that came unbuttoned on a sebile stik shad
Got a couple other shorter fish but it was a good day for me too.
