working class fish

[PescadorPete]

Well now that the season is officially over since the squid boats are gone because the squid left town and took all the fish with them I guess its safe to post a report.
My hats off to those who have their life arranged so that they can spend lots of time on the water, scope out the area and consistently catch the big fish. I'm a bit envious to say the least. But the cool thing is they are willing to share tips and tricks with us part timers who have to fish around our 9-5 schedule.
So to slip in some sea time, I start with setting the alarm to a reasonable hour:

Then make a hearty breakfast, two over easy:

Head to the launch, hit the water and whip out the magic squid jig. This jig fills up the tank in record time:

After checking out the reports and tips from the pros, I pick the zone, select 'the spot' and start the hunt.

Game is on, game is over, sun rises and looks like I'll make that 9 o'clock meeting after all.

So even us working stiffs can get white meat on the table.

Nice work, for a workin' stiff.

Nicely done Pete! :cheers1:

[FlyFishinYakr]

One of the most amusing reports I've ever read!!!

Not crazy about the alarm choice (You'd never get me out of bed @ that hour, even during a WFO bite or without my meds. That's why I fly fish).

Good breakfast choice.

Love the majic squid jig, one of the most effective I've found.
Congrats on the :wsb:. :cheers1:
How bout this for a new ad:
:wsb: the other/other white meat. (chuckle!!!)

That's a strong right arm...good job!

[lbsurf2ca]

Congrats on the great fish. No need to go on the Islander you got the trophy 15 minutes away from your house. Once the swell dies out we should try our luck at swamis before MPLA kicks in.

[tagyak]

this is the way to post a report, LOTS of PICTURES!!!!

[addicted2sp33d]

Congratulations on the nice bass. If you are getting up at 1:30....might as well not go to bed...:D

Yeah... Why get up at 1:30A? :confused: Why not just get on the water after dinner the night before and get more :reel:?

If I had plans to fish the darkness, my trip would begin at sundown the night before! :D

Congrats on the beautiful fish!

[xpresso2am]

[cjthomas]

Congratulations on the hard work and fish!

I was on a similar mission this last week. I left orange county at 12:30, made one squirt and dozens of egg sacks, drank my monster for breakfast, and searched through the dark for nada.

[fishaholic]

[THE DARKHORSE]

[Dennis]

How do those rockstars taste? I prefer the regular, but maybe it's time to try a different flavor.

I'm more like a 400-1300, with a ten and five year old. And another on the way in a little more than one and a half months. When the wife says go fish.... it's time to fish. :reeling:

NICE FISH!
