good day/evening all,
well i was invited to hop on a skiff the other day so i jumped at the chance, being a shore fisherman i dont fish below me that often, and the guy taking me has many moons on the water, so i hoped to learn a thing or two. i knew we would be fishing a drift so that meant my techniques were out, and not to affluent with lead head swimbaits, aside from what i learned from fellow FNN member HuntnFish, and S.D.F. member TheKID, this was going to be a learning experience. well my buddy Mark, put us or should i say him on fish immediatly, he was three on by the time i got my first, so here are a few fish then well get back to the hybrid....

mark easing his way manually threw a fireline snafu'

then out of nowhere we run into a school of calicos, heres one of mine
http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll140/GOTFISSUES/200806240011.jpg
and then it happens, i ask if we can hit up some rocks since thats where i feel most comfortable, hes down so we roll over to a landsided jetty, two fish were caught there but of course mark gets the first one, but this fish faught pretty darn hard, more so than the others i saw him fighting. when he lands it were both like what the ..... is up with this fish. never had either of us seen a spottie like this, it had a pointed head small mouth its under gills looked liked whiskers, heres the pics...

http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll140/GOTFISSUES/200806240014.jpg
so there it is, have any of you come across a spottie or other variant like this, im thinking different type of bass dude stuff mixing with spottie eggs, or birth defect, any suggestions welcome.
but since i have fishues' i couldnt stop after we brought the boat back, ended up tossing out berkley trout worms on two pound into the docks and meeting these two little guys.

all fish were released to grow up and have more strange offspring, i enjoy the colorations on the baby bass, another question i had, do any of you know what causes some of my spotties to have yellow coloration around the mouth, usually i find this on bigger fish, thought it might mean spawning or something. usually they have a white or greyish mouth. well thank you for your time and hopefully i might have me some surf fish to share next time. take care
and thanks to mark for teaching me a thing or two, it was an awesome time wetting lines.
