The focus of today’s “MISSION” was a more relaxed atmosphere. “Wingnut & Bones have been on some treacherous, adventurous and exhausting trips in the past 4 weeks so I offered them a ride on the “SPOTTED FEVER” in NPH since the Surf Forecast did not look good for Sunday.:No Pity:
Arthur arrived at my long driveway at 0430 and we were on our way to meet Mike at the ramp at 0600 sharp. Boat was promptly put in the water and Arthur and Mike immediately went to work on ramp docks while I warmed up the boat.
Arthur was quick to break the skunk with a nice Spot.

I kicked myself for leaving the “Hot Bite” in the ramp area to quickly on Friday so we worked the vicinity before venturing out into the vast harbor.

Conditions were stained, no current and lack of Bait Fish in the area so we made a move looking for better conditions.:Evil: As we moved down the channel Arthur and Mike were getting reacquainted to finesse fishing as they missed several opportunities but also managed to boat a handful of 8” Sandies and Spotties.

I got on the board quietly with a Spottie.

The boyz added another handful of Sandie and Spotties.

We made a pit stop and then headed out to the Jetty area to see if conditions were better and in search of a Legal Flatties. We slowly meandered out to the opening of the harbor.
I guess yesterdays battle with a large FLATBOY got the best of Arthur!!!!!:ROFL::ROFL:

We went around the corner to the south and worked the outside of the jetty in toward Corona Del Mar swim beach. Conditions were beautiful with calm clear water to 20 plus feet. Worked the Jetty wall and swim beach buoy line for only 1 solid missed hit!:Angry:

We made a long move back into the far inner area of the harbor to set up for our final moves of the afternoon. Again conditions were not the greatest and were experimenting with different baits to try to get them to chew.

Thanks Mike and Arthur for another great time on the water together!!!!!
