Tony, my father and me took off (separate cars) for Ventura at 5:00 this morning.  Arrived at a beach we haven't fished since 2019, couldn't believe my eyes.  Over 4 feet of sand was gone, a beach we used to fish at a 4.5 tide was wet at a 2.0 tide.  So we decided to drive south and hit the pier, got there and there was already 9 people fishing.  Soooooo, off to location #3.  Conditions were perfect, only no one told the fish.  Me and Tony were soaking mackerel on wire leader and my dad had squid on 20lb fluoro.  3 hours and everything went unmolested, not even the crabs were interested.  Almost 140 miles for nada, but it was a nice drive.  I really miss fishing in the evening, but my father doesn't do so well late at night.   8)

No fish and time for an oil change ;D ;D   The important thing is that it was time well spent with Dad  ;) 8)

Damn, 140 miles is a hell of a trip Verne!  You guys are way overdue for some awesome catches, and like soon!
