So for the past year and a half I have been sharing my Jeep with Myles so he could save up for a decent vehicle. I told him if he saved 10k I would match it plus some. The Jeep is my daily driver and I do have another Jeep I drive, along with my Dually, but I want my Jeep back !!!    He saved 10k and I gave him 15k, so yesterday we got him a 2018 Toyota Tacoma....Congrats to Myles  





No more Clown Car Action for Bat Ray Fishing

Lots of down time to ponder your plan of attack for 2027, hopefully recovery isn't too bad. Good luck and take it slow and easy !

Looks like you have your hands full but it will all be worth the effort when you sit back and say "I built this"


Hopefully the rain stays to a minimum, I'm ready for summer already 

That's better than The ShamWow Guy  ......  This AI stuff is hard to get used to !

But wait, there's more !

Time to head to The Sierras when you heal up, no drama up there

Seems like the year went fast   You always seem to be a magnet for idiots out there, the weekend brings them out in full force It's a good thing you didn't hook into anything too big or the Doc would have to resort to Plan C and D ! Hope it all goes well and you can resume the hunt in 2027

The Boat is looking pretty sweet and Congrats on the Yellowfin. Always cool to see the ocean put on a show for you  while out venturing around. That's a good run down to O'side, looks like you are getting things  dialed in, very cool !

Well, I guess there are no fences out there  so the fish can always be wherever they want, which seems to be one step ahead of the fisherman at all times, always keeping the guessing game alive and well. Looks like you guys had a good trip and you now have some culinary skills to perfect with all that meat. Here we are in November and the weather is still pretty nice, very cool !

 Max wanted to redeem himself and try for a Bat again, no Clown Car Side Show this time   His buddy Ryder came over and we loaded the wagon in the back of Max's truck and we got to De Anza about 4PM on Friday
 

Not long after we arrive, this guy shows up   (I called him and told him to join us )


Of course Jerry hooks up first     Nice Bat Had to do a little Dental Work on it to release the hook



He hooks up again as we all scratch our heads  


51" Leopard   


I had a few short runs but nothing stuck, then it finally did   A 42" Leo 



Jerry took off, still nursing the Flu and wasn't 100%..... Good to hang with you, Jerry Max was getting Slammed on Mackerel but would not stick. 9 times in a 15 minute period, Max's rod was almost getting yanked from his sand spike, then it stuck     Like a Freight Train it took off and there was no stopping this thing ! Max ran about 100 yards along the shore trying to keep up and it swam towards the bathrooms, past the Buoy Line and it spit the hook   By now Max is like WTF He hasn't landed a Bat in a long while, always the Sand Hand.....Then Ryder's rod goes off ! 35" Bat 
 

It's going on 10pm and I'm about ready to start packing up and Max's rod finally goes off and he is on.... Finally !



Fun,chaotic evening but everyone landed something tug worthy

Sorry for the grainy pics, phone settings were not set right for night time  
 

  80 looks good on him and that is a great present, very nice !!!

 Well, if all the gear fit in Edgar's Mustang, it had to fit in my Jeep......The Clown Car Show continues




Edgar was the Hot Stick today....I couldn't buy a bite   



Myles got one on my rod while I was filming Edgar  


All the Bats were in the 30" range with the biggest being 38" A big one came unbuttoned after a nice battle but still a productive evening with 6 Bats on the sand and the one that got away




Max is going to try to Redeem himself tonight, I may join him 

Found a few pics that Max had on his phone, he got the Kayak that snagged my line and a couple of action shots





3 days later and still a bit sore Them damn things pull HARD !

A deep YT to save the day, pretty sweet !

A Nosy Neighbor setting up Shop next to you is always irritating

Speaking of Koga.... He is MIA lately

Hope the shoulder situation isn't too brutal on you   

Plan C......Pain Pills 

Hope it all goes well and you will be healed up and ready for 2027
