Dana Point ~ 10-6-2009
 

Was out on the water at about 5:30pm.. the harbor was empty. So.. I trolled a Rapala X-rap and a Roboworm swimbait on my way out to the ocean. On my way out, I hear this large splash. I look back, and a white hawk had my swimbait in his claws.. I immediately grabbed my pole and thankfully he dropped it.

I continued out to the ocean.. and ended up catching 3 bonito, 2 calico's and 4 barracudas. It was really nice out on the water. Lots of people dropping hoops. Anyway, below are some pics:
:sifone:

Looks like fun!

Looks like you are diggin' your new boat.

Awesome, glad you are getting out there in the new yak finding the fish!

I've had the DP osprey go after my baits a few times. Damn glad I never hook him. Mike

nice calico's and bonito ;)

I would not want to try and unhook an osprey. Guaranteed stitches!
