What is green, blue, yellow, red, lumpy and soupy?

Think about this info Greg has offered up here. It may not seem like much... but then look at this sonar shot from Saturday. Anyone think that this report wouldn't help you catch a fish?

I was a few feet away from Chris138 when he got exclaimed "they're right underneath us now!" and a couple of seconds later got this on my Hook5 sonar


I swear he's a fish magnet. I've never had such a classic shot on my own fish finder before.

Theoretically, there may have been a 30# foamer that ate my flatfall...

Looks like you have your settings dialed in!

Thanks for sharing the informative posts gents! Always a good read and very helpful.

I was out on Sat. Had a late start and didn't get out till 7am. Surf was fun as mentioned. I hugged the kelp coming out and made a mix bag of jack and greenbacks very quickly.

Seeing some of the surface action, I took to flyline and flat falls for most the morning and figured I could cover some ground. I went out west first and then came back in and headed towards the kelp. I paused once at the kelp line, tied on a fresh dropper loop (65lb braid - Alberto knot - 50lb mono - 2/0 Ringed J hook.) and sent down a nice medium greenback First drop down, immediately get hit and the fish is racing to the kelp. I start gaining line and now my flyline gets picked up.. double!

I continue with the fish from below and pull em out of the weeds. Once I grab the other rod, I have the fish for about 2-3 minutes and pops off in the kelp. 40 lb fluro was pretty abraded above hook. Got wet coming in... but always enjoy the time on the water.

I did find a pair of fishing gloves. So PM details and I'd be happy to return them to you.

Here's some video

Nice video! Looked like you had that landing if you just trusted your paddle to keep you up. You were in perfect position to slide right in.

I may have to steal that idea for my rod leashes! I currently have the parachute cord with weed eater line through them spiraled from a wooden Dow.
