DP: Cinco De Mayo Fishin
 

Launched from Doheny Beach for the first time today.. was out on the water by 6:00pm. I headed over to the usual spots.. fishing plastics. The swell was coming in pretty good.. and the sun was gone. Either was I was able to pull up this huge Sand Bass using a 1oz Silver Warbait with a brown Roboworm Saltwater swimbait:

Was off the water by 7:15.. was fun, but a sketchy paddle back into the shore.

definitely not a treefish i believe it is a brown rockfish. nice sandy

Nice turd! How did your launch go from that beach?

Nice ol grumpy sandbass, that is no treefish for sure..

That's one giant sandra. Nice job. Looks like you got him pretty shallow.

Yeah.. he gave a really nice fight. At first I thought it was a nice sized Halibut because I was in such shallow water..

The launch out was easy.. it was coming back in which was the problem. My first attempt I started to paddle in, and then a couple of decent sized swells came rolling in. So I paddled back out over them, and waited a few.. then was able to get back in without a problem.
