We launched at Davies 9AM and it was a zoo! Lucky to find a place to park... which made me think, do they stop letting people in the gate when the parking is full? Probably not. No matter. http://64.62.190.109/new-site/Smileys/default/fishing.gif

Bruce and Olfishergal pulled up behind us and we were out to get bait right away. Nice big dines http://64.62.190.109/new-site/Smileys/default/thumb.gif We made a couple drifts from the first oil island and a couple more over towards the Belmont shore pier. Mike and I both got raked a couple times but nothing stuck. Olfishergal was pulling on something big at one point and a big boat came by and almost sunk Bruces boat. http://64.62.190.109/new-site/Smileys/default/middle.gif Well, it wasn't that bad, but little boat, big wake, fish on, not good. That one popped off. Bruce also caught something, but I was too far to see what it was.

The wind and water started getting really sloppy, so we made a move to the turn around point back towards the launch. Did a drift there and then said goodbye to Bruce and Olfishergal. They said they wanted to go check out the eye candy on the beach instead. http://64.62.190.109/new-site/Smileys/default/dribble.gif
Mike and I continued to drift for a bit and then it seemed like suddenly we were surrounded by all these little kids in sail boats! http://64.62.190.109/new-site/Smileys/default/laugh2.gif So we decided to move back out to open water. Tried to drift Ester, but the wind and current were a little too much, so we moved back over to the oil islands for a little protection and anchored. Spent about an hour at anchor and hooked up with these.

Let them swim away and then decided to call it a day. Bruce can fill in with the details. I'm off to go win a pool game. http://64.62.190.109/new-site/Smileys/default/buttrock.gif

Thanks for the invite Bruce... it sure beat burning up at the lake. http://64.62.190.109/new-site/Smileys/default/nod.gif Let's do it again sometime.
