First nice big fish of the season

Another banner day, we cruised out at 6:00 am to the good spot and again fished up until the tide slacked out, 8 am.

Best fish of the day - 39" 20# - I caught this one on a lead head with a larger sluggo, also light green Ronzi worked, silver Ronzi worked, and the fake looking sand eel worked (made out of real sand eel oil). This fish was really fun, because I took it on my smallest rod. Shimano Spheros 4000 reel on a light duty kingfisher(?) rod. 20 lb magibraid with a 20 lb leader. It was a good fight.

This will not be good once the blues show up.

You could walk to a spot that would allow you to catch these guys. It would be a long walk with no four wheel drive. It is not the ditch.

I was concerned about burning the spot so I obscured the identifiers.


The sun shines on a dog's ass every once in a while, maybe today is my day!
