Went float tubing in Long Beach harbor. Had some bites but couldn't hook em little suckers. Finally hooked one little bastard! After about an hour of soaking in the water, I gave up and drove to the jetty. Hooked up with a shorty... too hot, calling it a day. sorry, still don't know how to load up the pics.

Nice combo trip on the Tube and Jetty!!!

It seems like it was a tough day to get them to cooperate.

Nice Sandie and Lil Butt!

If you go to the Photos thread Dana posted a very good explanation on how to post the pics on Photobucket and how to copy them to this site!!!!!!

Good luck!!!

Is that Belmont Shores in the first picture? If so, I usually rent kayaks from the place right next to where you put your tube in. I always fish the dock, but not much to show for it. Nice sandie.

Thank you all for the kind remarks. Yeah, it's in belmont. It's a bit slow right now in that area. Just waiting to get my new waders then I'm gonna start heading out to NPH. Fishing is a lot better there, especially in the mornings right after work:Razz:

Hmm, an invite??? Sweet... I normally wouldn't miss it for the world, but it's my birthday this weekend and the wifey's got plans already so it might be a no go this weekend. But keep me posted, I work about 5, 10 minutes away from NPH and would gladly go next time. Do you float tube there often?

Hey wingnut, you should definately give it a try it not already. It's fun, good exercise, and the constant fear of a big sea lion popping out next to you is just exhilarating:ROFL: j/k, but bottom line, it's fun.

Nice Job on the SB and Butt. Were you using Live bait or artificials?
I love float tubing the flatwater in the harbors. I've been doing really well with Big Red up north.We've been catching everything from WSB to sharks on drifted sardines and chovies. Had a death defying trip out into Cabrillo harbor a few weeks back though. When me and Big Red decide to hit up cherry I'll send you a PM. I have it from a good source that the big flatties head up into the shallows during the winter to feed on the BSP at cherry beach.

NP buddy. Just hit me up and we'll head out next time.

Hey bako, thanks for putting the pictures up. I'll be sure to do it correctly next time:Embarrassed:

I was using FinS jigs(smelt). They are killer when you crank with led heads or dropshot. Let me know if you head out, be glad to join.
