3-5' swells at 6 seconds and 20 knot NW winds in the afternoon had me just wanting to check out the back bay. It was calm as hell and probably would have been nice out front, but the calmness of the bay won out. Operation Halibut and Corvina....
We passed a totally worthless boat. i'm pretty sure there isn't a single rod holder on it.
We covered quite a few miles and ran up to the mid bay, but not a lot of signs of life. Some bait flickers here and there, but no birds or splashes. Steve decided to go for some bass while I d!cked around with the LC.
I realized what our issue was in that we really were just targetting something to catch as well as corvina. We didn't put much effort into looking for halibut, but there should have been some where we were fishing. I did squeak out a postage stamp, so officially on the board! lol
We moved around and I kept throwing the LC. I get slammed and I know this wasn't a bass! Legit Vina! (Those 3 trebles on the LC are just scary trying to unhook them!)
Bass were hard to come by for some reason, but we did pick up some more corvina.
Squatch on the board!
An occasional bass here and there...
I picked up a swimbait special also along the way....
The bay was like a lake!
We then made another move to actually look for bass and it salvaged the day with both numbers and shear size of them!
All nice models of bass and in the 12 inch range.
My thumb was torn up! I even got slammed by a fat back bay calico!
Well, we fished until 12:30 and caught our share of fish. Probably 50-60 in total, so nit huge numbers, but the quality was much better than usual.
A great day on the water before the wind turned on and made white caps everywhere! It was amazing how things turned so fast.
Well, thanks for reading and until next tide!
