Back to Clemente 9-6

[faster u fool]

Damn.  We knew it might be rough, But thought what the hay.  Planned on another Calico trip and to watch the tournament action around the island.  Headed out of oside on my buddies 22ft Triton.    Well as Tom knows the wind was up.  Swell was up but long periods.  We made the run anyway and it was beyond bumpy.  The little boat handled great and took it like a champ. The ride wan't too bad if you were at or behing the Center console.  the little seat in front was no good.  we made it out there in just under 3 hrs. and let em have it.  Once again wide open crazy fish.  Not as good quality in the kelp as the wind was howling and blowing your drift to pieces.  We fished the inside up tight and  dug through some good ones.  If we could keep the boat in line with the kelp and the boiling fish it was crazy, but tough.  We did see some birds and yellow boiling just outside and tried for them with the Iron, but no luck..The Ride home was a little smoother but very very very very wet..soaked to the bone.....but made it back in 2.5 hours..The things we do to catch some fish..lol  I LOVE IT.

The sled..

Mike with a good one.


Choked on the 9 inch grumpy bait.

 I haven't fished Clemente since high school or shortly thereafter. Obviously I have been missing out.
