Definitely not good.

Easy drive to Don Eddies this morning, got here before lunch and had octopus and shrimp stuffed yellowtail. After lunch, dinner was being prepped, and Bob and I got a preliminary taste. If you are not here - you are missing out! 30 dozen HUGE oysters, 5 dozen big pismo's, 15 rockfish fried whole, beans and tortillas. Hopefully I'll be able to get up and fish in the morning...

Some more meat for the freezer today. I had two more on which I did a remote release at the side of the yak. In other words, they got away. I foot wrapped a cormorant that was not happy with me and bit me twice while I was trying to untangle him. Once in the middle finger, which I was most assuredly going to use on him once I got him unsnarled, and once on the top of my hand. Rabid birds.

The road to the lighthouse was worse this morning so I drove around to the backside of one of the volcanoes on the bay and found a nice launch spot there. Unfortunately it was still a 2.5 mile paddle to the area that I have been fishing. Against the tidal flow heading out and against the tidal flow coming back.Attachment 21738

Got the best seat in the house - with the chef! I'm going to be hanging out here for awhile. I passed on the birthday wishes to Bob.

Tourney day in San Quintin. Miserable conditions this morning. A cool wind, heavy mist That may as well be called rain, and extreme low tide made for a tough morning of fishing. Due to the tide, I had to s
og through 300 yards of 3 inch water and 3 inch mud just to get my kayak to float. My usual spots were almost unfishable due to the wind, waves and tidal currents. I ended up tying off to various hard points on a floating boat house, a grounded panga and a sunken sail boat and just fan casting the area. Ended up with 3 halibut. Caught the largest one at about 10:00 and called it a day. Stopped off at Don Eddies to have Makobob measure it and then got cleaned up and had a siesta. In the lead at noon but the tourney closes at 6:00 pm.Attachment 21745

Well, Rossman won the tournament with one of his three halibut. The only halibut caught. I only managed a bonefish.

Congrats Rossman.

Nice write up on the tournament by Daniel Powell in the San Diego Reader

Sounds like Herman Melville had a few synapses misfiring. The way he strings together his mixed metaphors makes me want to wander off to sit in the shade and open a cold beer. While a tiger's heart may connote a natural inclination, panting is a function of breathing. Velvet paws conceal claws, not fangs. Remorseless fangs lie beneath a cat's whiskers. Brilliancy of the ocean's skin? Ahoy mate! Bohemia, por favor!

Congratulations for winning the jackpot!

Sorry for the late post, YES Rossman was the winner, $300 USD, CONGRATULATIONS, should have been two years in a row.
Ross did his homework both years by PRE fishing the areas. Tight Lines and a big Thank You for all who participated.
