Hi all...

I am back and may I say that I have never seen a worse two week stretch of fishing in my life in June down the backside!!!!

Did not fish really as hard as I would have liked, but what fishing I did do, which was still quite a bit....sucked!!!!

Fortunately, I was not alone as all my buddies were down there and they can attest that the fish were simply not to be found!

Got two "dinks" a week ago Thurday at the Race and that is it!!!! Can you believe that? Fortunately my youngest son went large...(got his first keeper ever from surf....29 inches and 7.75 pounds of him) I was about as proud as a Dad can be.

My son Nathan, who is 10 years old, got his keeper at the Race ch#^^^^^&g a 2 oz. crippled herring. He fought that fish like a champ and did everything I taught him to do. I was about as happy as I could be. Took lots of photos, no digi-camera sorry. Man was he a happy kid, the look on his face was worth more to me than anything I can think of, it really was the highlight of my trip. I thought I was gonna bust wide open I was so proud of him.

Yes, BasicPatrick.....you can say it.......my son outfished me and I am glad he did.

Had a great time though regardless of the no fish factor. Got so relaxed I thought Fishchick and I were gonna go into a coma. She drove her new Tacoma truck on the beach for the first time so that was fun. Fished three nights with Slingah, Joey G and Slingahs buddy Bobby.....had fun but no fish of mention were had!

I did however start fishing one of my own plugs.....they are done and I will have pics up this week when Slingah can come over and take some with his digi-camera. Glad to see you are all doing well. Slipknot, sorry we could not hook up down the backside, we had company that Saturday night so I could not get away.....Habs, thought I might hear from you but I am guessing you did not make it down there Thursday? You did not miss anything......would have been nice fishing with you though.
