almost at the same time, Niel caught his calico to beat the skunk...
Niel was way across, so i couldn't get his pic, sorry dude!
after that packed up and left..
if it wasn't for the barracuda,would of been a really slow day...




later that evening talked to another buddy,Kevin. we decided to hit alamitos bay for the evening bite. fishing for about an hour 1/2 till dark ,kevin manages a salema. nothing for me..

wanting more of our fishing fix, decided to try seal beach pier.
before getting there, i tried stopping by big fish for some ghosties ,but they had just closed:Sad:
get to the pier, not a whole lot of people. so i start trying the ds with smelt and Kevin trys the glowing sand crabs.
we start noticing these big fish swimming around down below. we see people trying for them, but the fish just swim right by there baits. so i rig up a rap lure cast it way out, and wait till they cruise by. when they did i started reeling it fast. as soon as it reached them ,they started circling it ,when one grabs it!!! hookup!!!! i loosen the drag and it starts to scream for a bit! then i proceed to try and tire him out. when i do
i start reeling him in, when these nice Asian people help me pull him up.
the fish ends up being a 4 1/2 lb black mullet!!!

after the excitement, the nice Asian man ask me what i was going to do with it? i said, i didn't want it . he ask if he can keep it i said sure why not..
as i was talking to him ,he started telling me more about that fish, he said i was very lucky to catch him on that lure, because they usually feed on algae.. he also said there are people there, who try and snag them on big trebles!!:Shocked::Shocked: wow that's too bad!!
soon after talking ,we tried another spot on the pier,but no luck.
so we packed and split..
