I agreed to fish with my coworker Jake after work for spotties from shore, which has been a tough bite as of late. Not sure why I didn't push him more toward the surf but alas! I got off work at 1530 and got to the harbor around 1600. Switched through a few different plastics without bites before Jake arrived around 1715.

I complained about the algae and how I've sucked at bass fishing for the last 10 years for some reason, he offers me neck breakers and flukes which is his choice of lure and I say no! He says fine then, catches the first spotty of the evening 15 minutes later. I say fine, I will take a fluke. Not sure why I don't have them in my car anyway.

No bites for almost another hour as we walk and cast. Then as the sun is setting, I finally I hook up and get in a 13" spotty. A large flock of wine moms were passing by as I landed it and gave me the applause and affirmations I've waited years for. I grinned and bowed. (edit, pic added).



Got absolutely slammed 5 minutes later, I was planing it up to my feet and it came unbuttoned, I was satisfied so I'll call it caught. Went about 14".

Pablo joined us after fishing a different area for a bit and got a couple on his own. I didn't see it but he claimed to have caught another with us. We traded rods for giggles, back lashed each other's reels in the dark, and handed each other's rods back.

I ended up going 2 for 5 on bites for the evening. Left at about 2015. Invigorating enough to get back out for more spotties, so long as I have a built in audience of wine moms again.

that really made me laugh out loud.  hahaha

Well, we'll be calling you Mr Bass Guy sooner than later it appears.  Well done Jeremy.  I'm sure if Koga was still around here, he'd take all of the credit for any bass you catch.
You can't catch them from your computer chair.

Wine moms as Cheerleaders, now that's a new one ;D

Spotties are fun to catch, they are so aggressive  8)

BTW, what happened to Koga, he's been quiet ?

He's dehydrating for preservation until football season starts back up.
