WING MAN????

I'm just happy that you didn't call me a pussy for dropping those subtle hints about how gnarly the landing would be. It would have been a plastic and flesh pinball game against those boilers. When that north wind was blowing pretty good I was estimating the time it would take to paddle to Mission Bay.

That was alot of fun. Although my gauge is worn out from measuring all those damn barely illegals. In one molt they'll be dinner. I'm going to eat my langosta and then fall asleep for a long time.

You gents are better men than me. 6 hours in the yak and I can barely walk afterward.

Fawk 11 hours! How many pulls did you do? The pain hurts just to think about it.

I thought about open water last night w/the mellow conditions, but was solo an opted for the one the bays. No one around but a huge knot head. With in an hour he had torn off one cage, pulled all of my fresh mack bodies out to only leave the heads in 3 nets, and crushed the one cage that had half a yellow tail head in it. After a few hours there wasn't enough bait to keep up the pull.

I agree with pulling at LJ Shores, too much pressure to get many legals. I did a long night like that the first week of the season and brought a rod and stayed until first light to p/u some fish at sunrise. 150 bugs - not one legal.

But time on the water pays off.

Cool story, that's dedication.

I hooped last night for only the 3rd time this year, open ocean style,
totally flat conditions no wind, no moon. Beautiful night.

Sacked one nice 3.5" legal in about 3 hours on the water, released a
buncha bait eatin' shorts as usual.

Today maybe the last easy launch day outside of LJ Shores. Lots of swell
on the way for the weekend and next week!

P.S. I've never hooped near a jetty before. Photos ->
