Great photos, wish i had a day like you. went out monday morning in the back bay at 19th st to do a little catch and release, used the wifes boat to keep it light and have reverse. i was fishing the docks when a single man "scull" hit me from behind took out my 30yr old fishing rod. last time out of dana point had a visit from a GW Shark. my friends are telling me to pick a safer hobby.... need to try launching at the CGS

Hey Blitzburgh really late report lol! Great meeting you and I decided to try and make bait just outside the channel and watched you disappear West! Damn I lost track of you lol how far did you go? Anyhow nobody could make bait and a few PB had to finally go get bait at barge. I drifted all the way back throwing 3" swim baits but had a few strikes nothing till I hit the west docks. LMK when your going out again as I'd like to take you up on fishing and learning from you!

Anytime Joey, nice meeting you too. Not sure on exactly how far but I started working in the 300' area basically west.

Thanks man. Yeah some of those guys on those rigs get territorial. CGS is a great launch. I see guys launch on across on the peninsula too.
