Saltwater Boat Fishing Reports / Boring and Bumpy 5/19
« Last post by jrodda on Today at 01:32:06 PM »
0600 launch. Windier in the morning than expected. Bumpy right out the gate and stayed about the same with 5-10mph wind all morning. I wanted to record more underwater footage going toward Newport.

Really don't have much to say. Got one bite early on, jack sh!t for the rest of the day. Footage shows the bass weren't around. Reasonably clear water today, 10-20' at the bottom with a decent blue tint. Still cloudy so could have been better. Saw some marks here and there but they were mostly junk blacksmith and smelt, some señoritas...didn't see any bass at all except for two spots. Rough! Just like the ride back to the harbor. Bird activity became more apparent as the morning went on.

No pics, footage isn't really worth posting. Good for knowing the bottom composition, but no sick school shots or biters. But if you wanna see some shaky footage of cruising past empty scattered rocks and telephone poles, then you may persuade me.

Time for a nap.

Hey that's quite the cast of characters you were with! The stories alone were probably worth the ticket.

 Sorry to hear about your job, that's rough !  I'm sure you will bounce back soon enough. A little breather in the meantime to regroup and collect your thoughts might be a good thing and now is the perfect time to go to The Sierras, Trout everywhere !!

General Board / Late Start
« Last post by Tim524 on Today at 06:53:10 AM »
 Off to a late start, but I finally made progress. Tilled up the ground , still have more weeding and cleanup to do. Going to Home Depot to get some Steer Manure (40 bags) and till that in and I should be installing my drip system and planting my seeds today, hopefully!  Now my neighbor can stare at corn instead of weeds, Ha HA






The Sun has been MIA around here for a long while, yesterday was the first time in weeks to appear so I hope it decides to stick around !

5 captains and 15 fish woof. Always felt as a deckhand that the most skilled charter groups always had the toughest days, and the newbie groups always had the crazy bite. Glad you had a great time, sounds like a cool unique trip.

I'm going to call you Tim "The Rainmaker".  Wherever you go, you bring the drizzle.  Dave brings the Dark Cloud and you bring the precip.  lol

Nicely done on the turd roller.  Yep, would have been a better choice to go for rockfish, bt it probably felt good fishing for other stuff.

I can't seem to get any sunshine lately but it was nice to spend the day with 5 Captains, they all had different styles and techniques and it was a great learning experience. Pretty expensive Sand Bass though !!

 You had some bad luck with that line. Bad batch or just poor quality product ? Redemption will be SWEET !

Glad you found a few! Didn’t quite get to your 400th species but all those are pretty cool and unique.
