I had some family business to attend to before heading out for a Tuesday shark trip with Squatch.  I couldn't get free until 6pm and Steve spent some time looking for a fishable place.  Kelp was the biggest factor...

He found a spot and shoved the rover out of the way to score a nice leopard shark!

I set up next to him, but the incoming started to make it tough to fish.  I don't know how he did it, but he didn't lose a single rig and I lost 5 tonight!  That's like $45-$50 down the tubes!  Ughhhh

The sun was setting in on magic hour...

I did manage another BIG Surf Worm.

I had quite a few bass bites, but couldn't get them to stick.  I finally managed one to at least bring me to two fish even though they were not worth the lost rigs.

Oh well, I'm in NJ next week, so Squatch will have to pick up my slack.

Until Next Tide....

Hey Tom, thanks for the chop on that pic.

I have had more pleasant nights of conversation.

Losing rigs one after the other like that would put me in a mood too.

Safe trip home. See you in a couple weeks.
