The right kind of kitty fishing 11/3

Went out on a Saturday for a change right after sunset to try my luck at getting number 19 and 20 for the year. Went to the the well known soup spot since the high tide was pushing 5ft. Conditions were nice, no salad and little to no waves. I caught some nice bonito a couple of weeks ago on the pier, so I used that for bait on this trip. I just brought one big bonito since I wasn't planning on staying late. The bonito head goes into the water and I'm waiting. The local PD rolls into the parking lot to clear out all of the cars and shines his lights on me and said something over the load speaker, but I couldn't hear him over the sound of the ocean. As the cop is shining his light on me, I get a nice pull down on the rod. Weird to have the Po-Po as an audience as your reeling in a fish. I can't complain since it's been a while since I felt the tug on the line. After a short run, this nice size leo comes to hand. I would say it's about 45" long. The cops leave after seeing me release the fish back into the ocean.


The fog starts rolling in big time around 9pm, and I'm almost out of bait so I call it around 9:30pm. Nice to feel the tug again and not have to deal with salad.

I also caught this 5" leo trying to steal a chunk of bonito. He looked like he was just born.

 The cops ever tell you what they wanted?

No, probably saying something about clearing the parking lot of cars.

Figures. The rangers will get out and walk over to us and ask if the cars in the lot are ours.

Nice work Binh.  Glad you got out to give it a shot.

Squatch is right, they always come over to us and never shout out from the loud speaker.  I guess Steve and I look a little shady.  LOL
You can't catch them from your computer chair.

Beautiful kitty. My son and I were just north of you. Were were south of Cardiff Reef, near the bars? Just below the outlet. Glorious conditions but not a single sniff at our baits.

That's a fishy spot too, surprised you guys didn't get anything.

Fixed it for you. Was near there and never snagged so much eel grass anywhere.
