Salad City Rolling Through (8/30)

[Latimeria]

My buddy Andrew just got out to San Diego the other day and has the pleasure to work out here the next 3 weeks.  I am determined to get him on some fish and especially a Leopard Shark since they don't have anything like that out in Virginia Beach!

We met Steve at the spot and fishing was originally salad free.   It wasn't long before I get a quick hit and haul up this nice bass!



We then had a flurry of eels and lobster munching our bait before I had a real hit which ripped out line.  I thought I hooked it, but I felt it flip and *POOF.... gone.

Things got weedier and weedier until it was impossible to cast without immediately getting kelped.  My last ditch effort got me snagged in the reef and I lost my rig.  I knew I shouldn't have cast out again, but I wanted that last cast bite too much.

Oh well.  the bass wasn't a giant, but 20.5" and 3.33 pounds is a nice eater.



Until next tide!

It was great for awhile, but when the weeds showed up, they were bad.

In the words of Quint, you loose one, you right one.
Nice Calico, though.
