You let Dave clean your fish?? His knife is always dull!!

Great company to be in, glad you had fun!

 I had the privilege of fishing with some cool people in honor of Don Hansen up in Dana Point on Thursday.



 
Director of Product Development for Okuma, nice guy


I'm sure you all know these guys too



I hung out with Chad and Wayne quite a bit and had some good laughs   The Sun finally came out and it was beautiful out there


I got a few Rockfish right away, everyone got limits of Reds pretty quick since you can only have 2 I threw a few back cause they were pretty small


We moved around and it was a wide open Calico Bite for a long time, lots of Barracuda too and Lisa got a White Sea Bass   (SHORT)
 

Great fun and conversation with these guys all day is hard to beat !



I was a contender for The Jackpot with a nice Sheephead but Matt got me with his Bocaccio


Dave cleaned my fish



Back to The Harbor to celebrate and have Dinner at Jon's Fish Market
 



Now just waiting for nice conditions to get The Cyclops wet !

I guess the Foreskin is your lucky bait

Looks heavy...hope your boys are ready for some exercise.

That's a lot of good wood!  Check the stumps for hooves as I found a hoof in my last stack of wood in the truck.... 

I've caught bass and catfish on hotdog chunks, but hotdog shavings?  You definitely entered a new realm of fishing... lol

And yes... I'm going to add you to a "list".  lol

Took the ultralight and hot dogs to Jared's pond with a fresh idea.

Unfortunately I believe the fresh idea puts me on some kind of list.





After the uh, procedure, I put the skin on a dropshot and did very well with the green sunfish, catching 5 and farming just as many. Tack on a green bass for 6 total before I left the guys early for home.







I had a catfish rod soaking the whole time as well but never saw action on that front.

I got a call from my cousin, he has a source for a lot of Oak. I met him at the spot and he was already loaded up.


My turn to load up, luckily there was a helper there that did all the lifting


As I was about to head out, I jokingly told my cousin that his trailer load would look good at my house 
he said "that's where it's going"    He has so much wood already so he wanted me to have this load. Such a deal !!!


He followed me home and we unloaded

 


I have some work to do now, this needs to be split cause we are getting more in a couple weeks

I heard they are heading North, I am fishing with Dave Hansen on Thursday out of Dana Point, hope we find a few along with a few other species too

Word on the street is most of the San Diego lakes are going off right now, Bass are on the chew

Congrats on a fun day!!
