Well, we all had a great time as usual. Cheez came out on Thursday, we BBQ'D and then hit The PCS Show on Friday. Got up Saturday and headed to Mission Bay. The kids were there early and we set up Shop with The Crew. A gusty breeze showed up for a bit, then it all mellowed out which was nice. I really thought it was going to be another uneventful day as not much was happening till Myles landed a nice Bat on Jerry's rod ( Thanks, Jerry !) Then the bite turned on and Tom was The Hot Stick for a while with a couple sharks and a bigger Bat. I finally got hooked up and it felt good to finally tug on something other than a hand rail in a handicap bathroom stall Nice chit chat around the fire and things were slowing down so I figured it was time to head home. Of course I get a call from Max before we even get to the freeway that Tom is on with a Monster !  We could hear the excitement over the speakers in the car, Max was worked up more than Tom I think   A 53" Bat hit the sand for the GRAND FINALE !!!  My boys have progressed from playing the sand, to out-fishing Dad most of the time, they put lots of time and effort into it and it shows! Thanks again,Tom for putting this event together !  Hope your shoulder isn't wrecked too bad but at least San Diego can carry the Torch for another year while the other teams up North are cleaning their sand blasted gear

The wind tomorrow is gonna make things interesting.

I'll just post it here since hardly anybody uses the forum to much anymore.

Well meet at the same spot as last year in DeAnza cove. I'll try to lock up the spot first thing in the morning with Squatch and Max.

Relief for you and for the fish at The Puddles    Congrats on the new job !

I was thinkin' about that today actually. Glad it was a good day, I've had instant regret on day one before.

Hope everything went well. You'll find the fishing time.

Good day but I came to a quick realization...


My fishing time is going to be severely hampered now...

Dogs on the beach.Ugh. I'd have left my line out and told him i hope he gets a ticket.

I'll believe it when I see it. All the rays have been eaten by white sharks or migrated to a far away island, out of reach of any pendulum cast.

Fished Spot B again 1730-1930. No bites on the bat rod, some on the UL. I don't think there are actually any real fish in OC...?

ONCE AGAIN, a dog owner walks by me, stops 10 yards up current, throws ball into the water, dog goes and gets it, is nearly swept into my line in 10 seconds. I hop up and retrieve my line asap. I had nothing good to say so I muttered something about at least the dog got her ball when he apologized to me.
