I was convinced by Mr. Bendo to try pier fishing. We rolled down to Huntington Pier and got our lines in the water. We threw some C-rigs out with some squid and chovies in an attempt to entice some Halibut or Bat Rays. Then we worked some Sabiki Rigs to try to get some live bait ending up with some smelt, herring, and a few anchovies. I was owning the smelt. As far as decent sized fish were concerned it started off pretty slow. Bendo pointed out that it was low tide and this was the likely cause for the slowness. I passed the time by taking some pics of some dolphins and some scenery.

After some tide rolled in later in the day ... the ownage commenced ...
I caught a halibut ... PB since it was my first one ... not a keeper ...

We then proceded to wreak havoc on the local bat ray population ...

The highlight of the day was Mr. Bendo's PB Halibut (28")

And his PB Bat Ray (Or Mud Marlins as he calls them)
