Took a non-fishing friend out on SD Bay today to catch up a bit, haven't seen him since May or so.
Launched about 0800. Not a lick of wind to start. Headed toward the bridge from Pepper Park.
Had some frozen ghosts to burn off, so started with that. Drew decided before the first cast that he wasn't gonna fish, more bait for me. Was hoping for a steady critter pick but also knew it might be tough because we're right on top of a half moon phase.
First cast, hooked up. Drag was still set for storage at less than a pound, circle hook didn't catch, lost it. Felt like a dink bass and first cast curse sucks anyways!
Got another bite right after, then nothing for a bit. Headed to the South Bay and got a couple short biters. Switched to the gulp jerk shad and quickly shed the skunk. Shortfin Corvina, species #117.
Farmed something right after. Then quiet. Looked for the flamingo or some turtles and couldn't find either. Ended up farming 4 and landing 1. Next time I'll leave at home the rubber hooks.
