Random catches that I didn't make posts about. It's been a pretty slow year for me compared to the previous few years. I'm still chasing new species, just at a slower rate. A few that I've tried for but didn't catch were midshipman, white surfperch, horn shark, and diamond ray. I have my eye on a few others this summer, so we'll see how it goes!
