I set a few goals for myself at the beginning of the summer. One of which was to catch a keeper from shore. I've caught enough fish from a boat to think that this goal would be easily attenable. And I could then adjust my goal to a 20 #er... well it took a little bit longer than I had planned, but tonight I caught two keepers. Best night of fishing (for me) in my life.
I started with a needlefish, but I got no action (it wasn't a HABs, which must be the reason), so on a reccomendation from a tackel shop over-the-brigdes, I broke out a home rigged Slug-go... thanks Steve.
First cast pow!!! He pulls some drag but not much. However I still have a hard time getting him on the rocks because Alex is thowing swell after swell at me... I stay cautious. I get the 28"off the hook and lay him on the only rock around for a sneak picture before I release it back into the drink,,, he goes belly up for 30sec and than he;s gone
Second fish was bigger...
maybe 30", but a had some difficulty removing the hook, I had him so long on the rocks that I skipped the photo shoot and tossed em back
Recap - I caught my first two keepers, that I didn' keep... there still swimm'n out-there. I'll hopefull get more, I will keep one that I know we'll have time to eat it.
