Is this an Aoril Fool's joke or are you actually fishing in the boat today?

Freshwater Shore Fishing Reports / Here Batter Batter Batter (3/29)
« on: March 31, 2024, 02:30:08 PM »
Ran down to the puddles and had the same results. Not a nibble for a few hours.... Just talked with a guy for a bit while the fish were taking a siesta.
Then 30 minutes before closing and a SCREAMER! Gone before I got to the rod.
Followed by another screamer! As rod loaded up in my hands... just gone.....
Small bite after that and the worm was nibbled to a stub.
Same thing again.....
Same thing for a 3rd time!
7:00 came and zero fish caught and went 0/5. Not exactly sure what I was getting bit on, but I'm suspecting Red-Ear and/or small trout. Even though it was a fruitless trip, it felt great just to chill in the truck, listening to music, meanwhile having a few rods just 20' soaking away.
Thanks for reading and the Bat fight will be here at the end of the month! Going to try and get out for a scouting mission here this week.

Fishing Talk / Day At The Docks 2024
« on: March 31, 2024, 02:20:43 PM »
Anyone going down next Sunday? I'll be down for a bit in the morning looking for some deals and maybe seeing if any vendor has one of the new Daiwa 500 bait casters I can get a feel of. I'd love to pair it with my Rainshadow yellow rod for tossing surface irons, but want to see if it worth that type of coin.

Fishing Talk / Re: New BPS opened
« on: March 29, 2024, 05:46:53 AM »
Pretty awesome guys! I haven't been in a BPS since Atlanta in 1997. Place scares the crap out of my wallet.
I almost had BPS pay for and make a mount of my ATWR Sargo for the RB store. I got an initial "yes" on the mount but I got a call back that it wasn't a worthy enough species for them. Fuggers....lol

Fishing Talk / Saturday Night Bat Fight XVIII - Banter Board
« on: March 26, 2024, 07:27:38 AM »
I just put this up here for sh!ts and giggles. I was thinking of the old banter from the OC and LA in years past, but now realize that the VC is the real competition now. Since Donfish ran to the hills, the remaining LA contingent is scattered and splintered and just resorts to catching thornbacks (minus ones). The OC hasn't been a challenge since Dagodfaja sunk into a razor clam hole and has yet to resurface (and Koga rode the poop chute to AZ so wouldn't know how to catch one). The VC has organized and may get lucky with a win through just sheer numbers of anglers, but SD has plans to combat that tactic. Team NorCal... well, their best angler split for the mid-west, so their hopes are up in smoke.
Yep, that's the summary for the start of Bat Fight season. Let the games begin!
(I wonder if Where'sMyBeer will make an appearance?

Contest & Events / Re: S.N.B.F.-XVII Official Sign Up
« on: March 26, 2024, 07:14:41 AM »
I may try the surf in the morning if conditions permit, but not sure of our base of operations yet. I'd say the same old spot, but we can switch it up to PDK's or KDP's if necessary. which have a lot of parking, but no fire rings. SD peeps, any input if a fire is a must? I'll also post on the SD SNBF page to keep the snooping eyes of OC, LA and VC away from our plan. Planning on doing some old school tactics that I don't want in the hands of the enemy. lol

Nice boat BTW Chris. I bet it's nice having the extra room compared to the narrow inflatable.

Although ironic, I imagine that smell is just coming up for your colostomy bag.

Forgot to mention that I started working out again (albeit starting from scratch) but hoping to be in fishing shape soon. I got soft on those trout the past few months. lol

Outdoor Activities / Re: Chula Vista
« on: March 24, 2024, 04:41:43 PM »Wow, that is quite a find. No sign of the rest of it? I know how few bones ever actually get to become preserved, but I wonder how the other ribs didn't get preserved.
Too much overburden on the majority of the remaining skeleton, but it looked like most of it weathered away.

Outdoor Activities / Chula Vista
« on: March 24, 2024, 10:52:44 AM »
Man, there used to be some great fossil spots in San Diego before the "Big Build" started and all of the land turned into condos and track housing.
Chula Vista is a Pliocene hotspot, but at least I got a few fossils out of there before the tractors ravaged the fossil beds.
3.5' long Manatee Rib between 2.5 and 5 million years old.
I have the electricians coming soon to move my electrical box and have to box up all of my fossils that are in the way. I haven't held this rib in 13 years, so it was really cool reacquainting myself with it.
So many cool fossils that need to properly be displayed.
