Long time no report. But finally got a chance to sneak out and do some lighter tackle am fishing. Target, halibut.
Met up with halibutjoel, who's just a great guy at the spot at 5 sharp. Chitt chatted a bit. Rigged and off to fish!
I was up 1st with a pop tart.(http://i57.tinypic.com/2wpmqfr.jpg)
And Joel for some reason, just has all kinds of doormats rushing good offering to his feet, only to somehow miss and retreat.
A short time later, I've dabbled with dropshot and land 2 small bass and another poptart on the lc. And finally get the right hit, till Joel identified it, party killer.

As Joel continues missing bites I hooked a good 1 that straightened the rear stock hook. Had 2 go wading in there twice for my lc too. Thank god only waist deep water, rocks were not nice tho.
We relocate around 7 and got company from what I am assuming is a Scotsman, and his bag pipe. Would of bin sweet to land a legal to his tune... By this time we fished another hr or 2 for no more bites. And relocate for smokes, (dropped my brand new pack in the water putting them away), an epic breakfast at Angelo's, and I needed a couple lc's, and Joel needed to retire his reel, so he got a new reel that needs to be proven. Overall a great morning followed by a heavy nap.
That nap part sounds really nice.
Sound like a good day. glad you guys caught some!
Rumor has it you're gonna join us mañana 8)
There may be truth to these allegations ;)
Don't know about a surf trip, but the goon trip was fun! Nice meeting you Ray. It was a good time indeed on the water! Had to retire the Sahara today after 3 years of service. Epic breakfast after a good day on the water! Missed some good bites (5 to 6) One was a legal and did the Matrix move on my LC. The Sahara finally seized up on me. Been greased, oiled. No tackle shop will touch it! It did it's job, I'm happy. Note came back at tackle shop, not fixable to much corrosion. LOL I wonder why? =)
Here's a few pics. Oh and I can't wait to try My new Sedona C5000. The new Halibut killer!

I'll be out in the morning to try and break it in. With some some luck, hope to make it happen.
Until next tide! :o :o :o
Joel
So great seeing you out fishing again Ray! Nice you and Joel got out fishing!
Ray was on fire from the get go! He hookedup a Hali in the dark quick. Then he changed to the drop shot and was getting some Bass. I need to add the DS to my fishing. Rough day today for me, but tomorrow is a new day!
Love biscuits and gravy!!!!
