Fishing at Mike's Scratching Spot (8/29)

[Latimeria]

Not very good tides this week for evening fishing, but we made the call to where Mike has been doing his share of "Scratching". 

Tide was falling fast.  Surfers in the water until after dark.  Not looking too good, but hopeful.

We get a few critter bites before Squatch strikes first with the typical Leopard hit and fight.  Not too bad of a fish, but it was caught in the pectoral, so it fought much better than what it would have with the hook in the mouth.



10 minutes later and I get a decent bite.  I thought it was going to be a big bass, but only turned out to be a leopard shark half the size of the first one.

Tide started bottoming out and the critter bites were just chewing the corners of our baits.  It was a perfect night, but only if the tide was coming in.

Both got fish (no -1 fish)... so a good night.

Thanks for reading.

 Missed a bite I should have had. Called it a bat ray so it wouldn't bum me out.
