Decided to drag Bigred up the coast to do a little more recon for the spring bite. Upon
arrival the sunrise was nice and but the water was real dirty.

So we bounced a little further north and hit up the next target spot which was nice but
fruitless as well.

That's bigred in the distance.......Can you say...."Major elbow room" on these beaches!!

Ok......Nada at this spot and we even tried to perch it up but they were elusive for sure.
Time to bounce.......
The next spot involves a little hike but it's all good. As Bigred disappears into the forest
I could swear I heard a scream and as I rounded the bend there was Bigred just smiling. I think
I screwed up his plan to ambush me....LOL

We tossed the LC's and the dropshot for a few hours for nada but did see some bait and Leos
up in the mix. As we backed out of the surf we ran into a huge trough that made getting out of
the water kinda hard. MMMMMMMMM.....Slow day equals.....Time to perch it up. I was the
photographer today and Bigred was the poser.....LOL

A little rubberlip up in the mix.

We just KILLED it in this trough and most of the perchies were between 8 to 10 inches but it
was nonstop for at least 1 1/2 hours and we both got about 30 grumpy little fighters.All clones and
no prego's so only a few pics.I'm not much of a perch guy but it was alot of fun for sure.
Time to bounce closer to home. During the drive we discussed which spot we would make our final
stand at for the day. I have a honey hole that I havn't fished since last summer so what the hell
It's been a nice day so anything else is just gravy so they say!
Bigred was still in "Perchin" mode and went with the terrorist look for the final assault and I'll
be damned if he didn't stick the first shortie on camo crack!!

Hey Bigred.......Use your PLIERS to remove anything from a flatties mouth. It's not a PERCH..LOL
http://i410.photobucket.com/albums/pp185/lukesdad2008/03192010/DSC00184.jpg
Then I stick my first shortie of the day at about 15" or so on the dropshot.

I soon followed with a slightly bigger model on the LC baby!

As the sunset....I said "One Last Cast" with the dropshot and it produced a little calico to finish
up the day.......KEWL!

No legals today but...
Not a bad recon session I must say. All fish are hugging structure and poseidon is still mixing it up.
I can't wait until the temps warm up a bit and this NW swell transitions to our Southern Hemi swell.
Soon.......Very SOON!
