Freshwater Shore Fishing Reports / Here Kitty Kitty 😸🎣

« on: March 30, 2016, 12:54:13 AM »

We hit up a spot that Eric H told Ray about.
Ray and I were hoping to catch some good sized kitties tonight.


We set up our light gear and patiently waited. 
About 40min or so into it my rod gets bit, I set the hook and bring up a nice bluegill (I've never caught one this big before)


 

After releasing it, we rebaited and castesd out again. 
Ray was casting to the left, and I was casting to the right.
He recommended I cast towards the left as well, but I figured I'd stay in my spot.


About an hour or so after the little bluegill, my rod goes bendo! 🎣
I set the hook and bring it in.
It was a good sized kitty.
At this point I had already missed 2 bites. I was happy to bring this one in.




At this point, Ray was getting agitated. Then Bam! He gets a good run.
He tried setting the hook but the kitty let go.
He was furious 😤


It was already getting late, I wanted to pack up but Ray wanted redemption.
I told him I already got my cat and I was good to go
 (it was cold and windy)


Next thing you know my rod goes off!
Another cat! 
This one put up a good fight 🎣 
She had a belly and was bigger than my first kitty.
I was beyond happy.
 (Of course watching Ray get mad made me even happier) 



Ray was happy I caught fish, but his competitiveness shined right thru him.

And that's how we ended the night.
3-0

Better luck next time Ray!! 🎣😬

Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / First Post! Report from last night 🎣

« on: March 22, 2016, 03:51:21 PM »

So the day started like this...

Woke up from a nap and woke Ray up to go fishing. (Around 6:30pm)🌆

He didn't think the conditions were good enough to go surf fishing, but I convinced him and we took off. On the way over to our spot, he saw it was a full moon 🌕and was windy🌬, he was not very optimistic.

We set up the surf rod and brought the light rods as well. The bite started late. But it started.
I hooked up 🎣on a nice size calico. I posed for a picture📷 and then released him. 





Ray hooked up 🎣on something. He was hoping for a hog, but turned out to be a MINUS ONE. ❌ He tried hiding it but I managed to get a picture. 📸

He then hooked up 🎣again and it was a baby Leo. A couple minutes later he hooked up 🎣once again. Another baby Leo. 👶🏼



Ray wanted to pack up, it was only 10:45pm , It was getting colder and the wind picked up but I wasn't ready to leave just yet.
 
I went to rebait but the box of squid was empty! Oh no .  But I dug in the bag and found one lonely squid , just waiting to be used!! 
Then bam, I hook up. 🎣 She put up a little fight, but I managed to bring her in. This one had a little belly.


(At this point Ray was getting agitated, as he is very competitive) 😂



It was now 11:20pm , and FINALLY Ray brings in a bass. It wasn't a hog as he had hoped (or as big as mine🐟) but he got his redemption. 😌



Didn't get any bites on the surf rod, no Sevens. Tough surf but well worth it. 👍🏻
