 Got out on NYD, but it doesn't really count since I went to Lake Dixon and no license is required.

Small surf and good intel led me to a local beach. Worked a nice hole all morning, getting just enough taps and tugs to make me hang around hoping. Fished a smelty swimmy as I heard smelt were being caught. I decided to see what the small taps were and tied on a teaser grub. They were smelt, as I suspected.

Finally got a nice thump and the line tightened up and I felt a wiggle so I knew it wasn't a rock. Worked it in and saw a brown shape and then got a nice drag screaming run. Felt nice on the light gear.

Got it in again and it went back out again. Finally landed it and it was a nice surf halibut. Fellow fisherman busted out a tape and we got 23". He snapped a picture of me, thanks, and I told him he should toss his LC in the hole to see what happened. Well, he nailed a sub legal butt out of the edge of the hole I had deemed to shallow. Lesson learned, I hope.

Anyway, it was a nice morning and a great way to get some mojo on the license.

Nice butt, Squatch!

One of my neighbors asked me if I fished every day.  I told him NO, but my buddy Sasquatch does.  Hard Core and where's the sand?
You can't catch them from your computer chair.

All the sand is in my kids shoes after our trip to the bay. Nice butt Steve!

That beach looks like a Nor Cal beach with no sand.
