LB/LA Harbor Sharks onboard the HESBROS

[flyngby]

Went out on board the HESBROS for a night of Hooping for the Buggs and fishing on 10/20. The Buggs were not as friendly as in the previous trips but we did manage 9 for the night.

We also wet the lines between sets for a variety of Smaller Calico, Sandies, and Johnny Bass.

A heavy fog bank rolled in just before dawn that caused us to pull the last string and run for the launch but we were soon in clear skies and ended up on top of a school of small Macs that were being chased onto the surface. We managed to capture some and Eddie began to think of the possibility of getting a nice Butt.

We moved to the west and set the live ones down for the soak. We also threw some plastics as we drifted the area.

Eddie got the hot hand on some nice sandies but tossed them back before the photo. He managed to get at least 10 in a short period of time.

Eddie, next time give some time to get some pics before the through back!!!!!

Then the Sharks came out to play!

Some of the pics!!!!!!

Did you catch those bugs in the daytime? nice catch

[HESBROS]

LOL Steve, I thought about the pics afterwards, I was in CCR mode, Cast-Catch-Release. The pic of your Leopard does not do justice to the size of that fish. I would bet it weighed 30+. It was a beautiful fish, wish we coulda got it in the boat for a close up. Lets do it again.
