It was a quick after work school night bite !~
Bucketbay, Bassmaster818 and myself got on the water about 8pm.
The tide was far from optimum and full on low with the peak low at 10pm so I forwarned the guys that this probably would not be an epic bite but we all aggreed to let it roll anyway..
BUT….
Didn’t take too long to get a lil some some started (no pun here guys please)
1st cast….I get a nice slow heavy bite….let ‘em mouth it a bit and WHAMO ! drive da steel and let ‘em feel the peel !
a Halibut hits the net…..saweet…..”SKUNK SHAKA !”

I think it was 15.2’ of water in this zone…the ¼ oz gulp alive strikes again !
I thought this would follow the traditional pattered behavior I usually experience around there and we would catch a few more in that zone but after 2-4 other short bites… no fish prevailed so it was off to the next spot….
After about 5-10 minutes there, Dwayne hooks up !
Another halibut hits the boat….Bucketbays skunk has been shaken…Saweeet…
They love that gulpo !!!!

About 15.6’ in this area !
We fished it there for another 45-60 minutes with a few bites but no more flat activity…
SO……off to the outer jetty zones to see about more action..
Geordy get his skunk shaken !…….Oh yeah….. always nice ta shake mr skunky !

The bite was a little slow in this zone and no halibut materialized there but we scratched a few sand bass and I think I got a sculpin there as well…

At this point we did not continue taking photos, we caught a few more SB and the bite sorta slowed so we moved to the Calico country……
We enjoyed a steadily increasing bite there for about an hour and caught many Calico Bass each, most were short but we caught several between the 13 to 16” range.
After many jigs lost to the rocks and after Geordy slammed his fishing pole into my face on his backcast (right between the eyes too OUCH !)
We decided to hit our 1st halibut zone 1 more time and leave since it was late….
SO…off we went back to spot #1.
Nothing else materialized at this point and off home we went….late.. but satisfied at a nice evening fishing trip…
P.S.
Geordy….I still have a headache from the freakin fishing pole nailing my face……
Good time guys….great fun…
Til next time,
Gary
