1-30 SD Bay
 

I took a buddy out yesterday to SI who wanted in on some of the sandbass action. We got a bit of a late start, on the water fishing around 10ish. Didn't take long and we were hooking up. The current was non-existent due to the lack of a tide swing for the day so we went to an old tech of mine. We fished SI till 1pm and boated close 20 Sandies. I asked my buddy if he wanted to try and get a Hali so we then moved over and hit NI up for about an hourand a half. We boated another 20 fish, mainly spots with a cpl nice sized Sandies. Every sandbass caught were legals with the exception of one little aggressive 8incher eating a 7" swimbait, lol! Around 2pm my wife and son came out and wanted to put around on the yaks. I down sized my baits and gave my son the little spinning set up. He caught 5 spots and a decent little sandbass in about 40 min and then called his mom over to get in on the action. She got to boat s little spotty too. Called it quits around 3pm


Around 7pm I got a wild hair up my butt to go out for lobster. So I loaded back up and hit the water. Lobstering was a disaster thanks to a cpl of seals. They were too aggressive and kept running off with my traps, so loaded them up and threw them back into my truck. I stayed out and grinder it out through the rain and wind last night and boated 30 keeper sandbass. I fished till 5am and then got blown off the water. Big wall of wind rolled in, looked like rain. Headed home wet and cold w/ a smile of satisfaction! Nothing bigger than 3.5# nothing shorter than 15" for the night trip. Over all a long successful day given the absolute worst conditions.

The wife
 

Her first fish in 3yrs!

Sandie
 

Here is about the average size we were catching on the Sandies.

Nice!

Thanks for the report. I haven't hit shelter in a couple of years. This reminds me of why I spent so much time there in the past. Hmmm, maybe this week?

Nice! Way to put the fam on some fish.

I am diggin' your wife's choice in kayak foot wear!

Nice work Jeff! There are some toad sandturds in the bay for sure.

This is cool to see. The whole reason I went with a PA is to have room for my kid when he gets older. My wife on the other hand, she won't be touching live fish anytime soon.

Good job!

Jeff, were you also wearing Uggs?

Uggggggggs
 

You'll find me slaying 100# Bay Bass with dildo shaped swimbaits before catch me ever wearing uggs. I cherish my manhood! LMFAO!
