They Know They’re Safe…

I took a walk today in the local wetland reserve, highly illegal to fish in. Kept my eye out looking for something cool, maybe some little white seabass in the shallows.

Got to a spot where I saw a striped bass about 24" casually roll up to the edge of the shore. I flipped out and said to Alicia "do you know how rare those damn things are?!?" She just called me a nerd.

Then I saw at least 3 more about the same size, then about four white seabass cruised through the same spot, all around 32". I was just laughing and shaking my head, they're swimming by us like it's a f@cking petting zoo. They know I can't fish for them.

Water was just off color enough that I couldn't get any good pics. They did countless laps for 5 minutes before I got too close and they got shy.

This may be common knowledge at this point that these quality fish are in there but I never believed any rumor that I heard until I seent it with my own eyes.

I can't tell you how many times I see some cool or big fish when I don't have my fishing gear (or it's illegal to fish in).

Rumors always have some truth to it.  A while ago I heard of 200# Black Sea Bass being caught a few times in Mission Bay but I honestly shrugged it off until Jerry caught it on the Bat Fight last year. 

I really hope you get your surf striper soon.  When I caught mine, I felt like it was no big deal since I used to catch them in the surf out east all the time.  Now I realize how cool it is.

I call bs without coordinates and a pin drop on Google maps.

Yeah... what Mike said!
