Early start today . Lots of bait at pier. Got out to the NW corner and thought there was a tourney going on, so much traffic. Made my way around away from the congestion and found a spot that seemed fishy to me. Around the time the sun comes out so do the fish. Caught the 11# yellow :yt: off the bottom and soon as I re-bait and lower the rig and the reel starts screaming and I watch this big threasher grayhound across the water right in front of me. Well that turned off the y-tail bite! Tire him out in about fifty minutes, bring him over to the side and cut leader at the hook. Pulled like a yellowfin, I'll say he weighed at least 75 to 85# :paddleersmilie: Sunday was like a ghost town out there, very strange. Only thing for me was another small thresher about 50# he to was released at the boat.

Caught me off guard... It's a report for saturday and you are speaking in the present tense but you typed to report today.. Anyhow, way to go on the multi fish day. I went out after work on Saturday. Saw Brad loading up as I was unloading. Got a not-so-inspiring report on conditions and even a "what a waste of time"... He was right. On top of forgeting to put the head unit of my ff/gps on the kayak, it was windy and choppy with a good swell. Must of been better earlier. Hopefully I can get out by the end of the week to scout and prefish... Way to go on the multi big game fish day..

Last week, yesterday, today, tomorrow.... Nice report. You definately put in a lot of time on the water. I'm sure it will pay off for you in the tourney..
