Bonus Night 6/1/17

[sasquatch]

 Sometimes it works out that I get to fish on Thursday.

Decided to check out my secret spot. Never done real well here, but I usually catch something, and it is easy to get to, so I keep trying.

Arrived to small surf, few surfers and reasonable amount of weeds.

Set up early, before the surfers left, since there were only 3 out there.

Second cast get bit. Long straight pull. Bat for sure. Buttoned the drag and got to work. Broke my leader right at the swivel. Bummer, I'm low on sinkers.

Short time later, I get a very recognizable bite. Quick bounce then a run. Haven't seen this one in awhile.

Quick fight and I land a decent leopard.



Also got a cool time lapse video a lady took. Funny to watch, but, remember, it's a secret spot,

Not much happened after that. Ran through a few baits and enjoyed the evening.

Ended up getting one more before I called it for the night.



Maybe 50? Didn't measure. It was already upside down, so I just pulled the hook, flipped it and off it went. Barely even got slimed.

Took the early shuttle back to the old folks home.

Oh, yeah, those bait stealers aren't all lobsters.

Way to make it pay at your secret spot Steve!
Better than I did at my secret spot. LOL

[Latimeria]

Right on Steve.  I definitely liked the time lapse of you fighting the leopard.  Mendy even laughed when I told her that I used her to try and squeak out info on your location.  She didn't think that would work, but the time lapse did!

Wow, I really thought Mendy was asking.

Forgot the exciting part.

"Come out to the officers with your hands up or we will send in the canine and you will be bitten."

Followed soon after by, "Police Department looking for white female wearing denim shorts with blood on her body."

Eventually they left but didn't announce if they got her or not.

Kept my bait knife nearby.

Will look up recent local crime activity to narrow down the secret, thanks! I'll send Josh out in a few days to report back.

[Pinoyfisher]

Oh yeah, nice catching Steve. Except for the big bat...

Glad you're getting some R&R Steve, nice leo

[WheresMyBeer]

Nice LEO Steve. Looks pretty big, actually.

Sounds like La Jolla to me.

Nice solo session, Steve. Nice to see a decent sized Leo being caught. I see them in the skinny all the time. Like the pic of that Spider Crab!
