I awake to an owl on my roof and he is "HOOTIN AWAY".
I was just having a dream when I was younger, 3 friends and myself take our bikes and poles down to Pudding Stone for some fishing at the run off creek and then I'm trying to catch some crawdads for bait but am only finding newts.....
Well, now I'm wide awake and I have to go fishing after reading Arthurs report and his 38" halibut on Christmas....:EyePop:
I throw my waders, rod/reel, small pack, with some essentials, into the truck and I'm out the door at 4:00.
I know it's early but I would rather kill time down at the beach, relaxing waiting for gray light to come, which is 6:25 this morning.
When I leave the house it is 32 degrees by the time I get to my destination it is only 42 degrees and it's supposed to be a high of 60 degrees today. The tide chart says it's gonna be high tide at 4:52, with a postive 4 and waves up to 4 feet. YEAH RIGHT!!
I'm at a new spot today and it looks real fishy, small waves, small bit of salad but sets only every 15 seconds. I am gonna get some good looks down in the water today.
As I walk down to the beach there are 2 guys there already and they are both rigged up for perch. I talk with one of them, Paul, and he gives me the lowdown on his home turf. I thank him for the info and proceed a little further down the beach and start casting.
15 minutes into my cast I get hooked up with this little fellow;

Well skunk off, now I can relax and try to get me a Hali for the day. After 45 minutes I look behind me and Paul is there just watching me and ask how it's going? I tell him I've brought one perch to the shore and am now looking for a hali. He tells me to try another spot down the beach and then proceeds to walk away.....HOLD UP PAUL! I get this little girl just as he is walking away;

He comes back over, takes a look and says he has never seen any hali at this end of the beach...:Big Grin: Well you just did Paul...:LOL:
I fish and walk for another hour and manage to get one more perch;

That is my last fish for the morning. The waves are getting to be 7-8 feet, so much for 4 footers, and is crashing pretty hard at the shore. So I leave by 10:00 and am home back in town by 11:15.
On my way home I decide that I am gonna order my new baitcaster for my Christmas present to myself. You'll have to wait and see what it is...:Secret:
Thanks for reading and I hope everyone has a Safe and Happy New Years!!
