MB 3-15 more gulpman entries
 

The original plan was to go buggin in the big bay Friday night with my wingman Jim (Spyder). My wingman has been letting me down lately. http://www.bloodydecks.com/forums/im...s/rolleyes.gif The last three weekends we were supposed to go buggin and fishing together. The 1st weekend he says he's sick, something about a 102 http://www.bloodydecks.com/forums/im...milies/eek.giftemperature....whatever. Ok...we make plans for the following weekend. This time he's got pneumonia and can't make it....WHAT A WUSS!!! http://www.bloodydecks.com/forums/im...ing_Knives.gifOk then.... last weekend of bug season and we are definately going....then I get the call from Spyder.....the winds blowing....it's my daughters birthday.......so sad. Where are his priorities?http://www.bloodydecks.com/forums/im...ilies/slap.gif

The wind was calm when I arrived at Fiesta Island at O dark thirty. I was feeling lazy so I figured fiesta would be a good launch. Just drive to the waters edge and launch the yak. I hit the water about the time it started to get light. The tide was moving out well and the day looked promising. I paddled out to my 1st spot and started to get a pretty steady bite on the croakers. There were a couple of bigger models there with the biggest going 16in. That fishing began to taper off so I moved to my second spot and went looking for spotties.

The 2nd spot was loaded with spotties. Nothing real big but a fish on just about every cast. The best part was that I was out infront of a bunch of shore fisherman...just out of there casting range....while I landed bass after bass. I say a bunch I mean three guys and 28 rods lining the shore. The wind started to blow fairly early and I was off the water by 9am. By the time I was loaded up and ready to go the wind was starting to kick up strong.

Overall a short productive trip to the bay. 23 fish in an hour and a half. Made a day full of honeydo's a little more palatable that's for sure.

OH ya....just bustin your chops wingman...see you tomorrow afternoon for some bassin.......maybe.

fish count:

9 Croaker (needed more gulpman entries)
14 spotties

all C&R

Nice going. 23 fish in 1.5 hours is some serious action!

It was some quick action for sure. The two spots I tried were holding well. Paddle to the spot....cast...catch a fish. Paddle back to the spot....cast....catch another. Doesn't get much better. Specially on the 6lb test and enjoying a cigar.

My best days are often when people flake on me whether it's fishing, skiing, surfing, or whatever.

That's some good fishin'. Nice photos too.
