: Fishing at Mike's Scratching Spot (8/29)
: Latimeria August 30, 2017, 06:21:36 p
Not very good tides this week for evening fishing, but we made the call to where Mike has been doing his share of "Scratching".  :o ;D

Tide was falling fast.  Surfers in the water until after dark.  Not looking too good, but hopeful.

We get a few critter bites before Squatch strikes first with the typical Leopard hit and fight.  Not too bad of a fish, but it was caught in the pectoral, so it fought much better than what it would have with the hook in the mouth.

10 minutes later and I get a decent bite.  I thought it was going to be a big bass, but only turned out to be a leopard shark half the size of the first one.

Tide started bottoming out and the critter bites were just chewing the corners of our baits.  It was a perfect night, but only if the tide was coming in.

Both got fish (no -1 fish)... so a good night.

Thanks for reading.

 Missed a bite I should have had. Called it a bat ray so it wouldn't bum me out.
