Thursday
Typical Thursday sesh with Binh. I miraculously made it on the sand by 7:30pm! Was pretty sweet to the sunset for once.

Josh rolled in not too long after I casted out my 2nd bait. The first bait suckered in a sub 30" bat ray. That would pretty much be the theme for most of the night as I hauled in 2 more bats, a 49" and a 52". Josh gets a sub 30" to beat the skunk. Binh gets 2 of his own with one hitting 54"!! What a beast it was!!

Binh also hauled in a toad butterfly ray and some leos with one in the upper 50" class. I got my fair share of leos too, 3 to be exact with one also going in the upper 50"s. Josh ended his night with solid leo too.

I closed out my night with the target species, a 70" soupfin on a middle chunk of bullet tuna. Haha Josh ;) He knows why.

Friday
Same group with Andre motoring down from LA to join us. He and I both managed some shovels, but he got the big bat honors with a solid 50"+ bruiser. Better him than me ;)

Grunion ran both nights, but no where near the numbers I was hoping for. Too many headlamps on the beach I guess. Did see some future babies.

Besides Andre, we were all wearing the stripe until I struck gold, er... bronze again. 71.5" on mackerel.

Two soupies in two nights is striking gold in my book Mike..............congrats!!!!!!!!!!
Mike, you are a Prehistoric Soul ambassador!
Congrats on the Plink and Plonk... Steve's not digging it, and I'm starting to think that I might have to get out in the surf more often, but Bravo sir!
You guys needed to measure a Leopard for the shark contest! No measurements, No prizes!
Not concerned about the contests, got the big prize last year. Eyes on the list.
Loaded up to hit the beach last night. Windy cold and weedy everywhere I looked. Went home and had a few beers.
Not going to be hard to catch up if I keep that up.

Glad I stayed home then. I almost made it 3 nights in row.
Killer Mike! You definitely deserve it for all the time you put in!
Great job! Glad to see that you're back on them.
