Got there after 5:30 & met up with our friends from Indiana. Noticed a lot of macks being caught so I tied on a Sabiki to a rig given to me by my neighbor before he moved. (Thanx Ralph! It still works great!) Before I could tie on another Sabiki, Bill had caught the first of many macks. Here's Bill with his son, Jeffrey (hope I spelled his name right), with the first mack. Sorry, Bill, but it looks like my daughter took a little too much off the top.

Set up a second pole with a Sabiki and my daughter, Sarah, had such a great time, she didn't even share it with her boyfriend. He was a gentleman and helped take the icky, slimy fish off the hook for her. That's a job I was happy to relinquish. Thanx Kevin.
After about 3/4 of an hour, everyone abandoned me to eat @ Ruby's. I put a Kroc on my pole and brought up a regular sized mack. After struggling with the treble, I changed to a single and cast out again. Caught another mack, but while I was reeling it in, I saw a seal or a sea lion go for it. Couldn't reel fast enough. My pole went bendo & my 10 lb. test snapped. If any of you see an ailing seal, that's probably my Kroc that's causing him misery. He's lucky I switched to a single hook.
While my family & friends were out eating, I let others use my Sabikis. They both had a blast pulling up 1, 2 and even 3 or 4 macks a a time! It's good to see people having fun.

PS Macks were being caught left & right with a smattering of small smelts and one starfish. No pix since I lost my camera & my daughter was not around with hers.
