Nice to break the skunk. Look forward to more cats from you as it cools off.

Nice redemption!

That's a super cool day! The T is gorgeous.

I'm a little surprised we don't see more 7s caught from boats, as I'm sure they are in the kelp all the time. Cool that you got one into your boat. Although I'm sure that was as much of a trick as the thresher, since 7s are so flexible and bitey...

Enjoy that thresher meat!

A couple nice healthy bass there, I'm sure you can coax that other one soon.

Check your boat for a bug, the fleet following you around all the time can't be a coincidence at this point.

A couple nice calicos on the iron still sounds like a nice consolation.

My coworker went out on the New Seaforth on Friday and got himself a 20# yellow.

Damn! That's terrible. People...

The more I look at that rockfish the more it confuses me. Hit up Milton!

Peso is a cool find!

Jeez, what a nightmare. Hope it's made right real quick!

Pretty wild that these lakes have that many carp in them to where you can kill hundreds of fish and still go out again and have another high numbers day. All the more reason to hunt them.

Nice trip. Making a 4lber sound like easy pickens. Hope that interview turns into something fruitful and not sh!tty!

I was talking to a friend and he said he had a "life's goal of catching a 10 lb bass". I wouldn't think we have them that big here in Socal. Although, my parents lived next to Casitas Lake and I've heard there are some monsters in there.

I'd bet most lakes larger than a puddle still have 10lbers in them. Wish I was a little older and privvy to the bass scene when Casitas and Cachuma were popping out 20lbers in the 90s. The fund cuts for trout stockings seemed to kill that scene along with all the pressure from guys throwing big trout swimbaits.

Nice! Next time I need some I'll check the new H Mart. I've been thinking about grabbing a whole frozen octopus from there as well.

I was convinced since Friday morning that today was Labor Day. I mentioned it being a 3 day weekend to at least 3 coworkers and told Alicia I had the day off Monday. Nobody corrected me...then I woke up at 0900 to 2 calls and 3 texts asking if I'm alive from various coworkers. Should have been in at 0600. I let them know I thought it was Labor Day and they relaxed, so I'm burning a little sick time today. Whoops!

Well, since it wasn't Labor Day, I was hoping there wouldn't be a crowd at the beach. Got to AO #1 and it was loaded with surfers, didn't even make a cast. Headed further down the coast and forked up a little money to fish the city beach. Dogs yes, swimmers no.



I saw a few corbina, and what looked to be bonito chasing bait about 100' outside of casting range. But I got 1 tiny peck for 2 hours on the grub. Too weedy for trebles, as it has been for a year now. It was really nice out though.

I think I will bring in some brownies to work tomorrow to temper being clowned on by coworkers...

Nice day, really nice local whitefish. Both of those guys are why I like to avoid weekend crowds but I guess they're spreading...

Ayayay, I thought 3k for the suspension mess I had with my Volvo was bad. Glad you're taking it in stride. What tipped you off that you needed the work done?

I wish we had those up here (reliably), looks like a blast.
