So finally got to take out the pontoon I bought from Mrfishcado on Thursday. Met up with Brandonfish at a little after 5 and arrived at the bay at 6am. It was Brandons second tube trip and my first so it took us a while to get situated. We finally got in the water at 7am.
Brandon was quick to hook up on his first cast! I got crazy lucky and hooked up on my first AND second cast!! At that point we knew it was going to be one hell of a day. We hit up our usual spots and had some great success, the tubes definitely out fish the shore as we were able to get into a lot of spaces we couldn't before.
Totaled out at 29 fish for the day:
Me: 12,
Brandon: 17
8 different species total (I swear it was 9 but i cant remember the last)
Turbot- 1
Halibut- 3 (20+ inch, 18 inch, 15 inch)
Yellowfin Croaker- 1
Barracuda- 1 (21 inch)
Tomcod- 1
Batray- 1 (only a baby)
Sand Bass- 1
Spotted Bay Bass- 18 (handful of legals)

I also want to point out that; NO MATTER HOW GREAT OF AN IDEA IT SOUNDS, DO NOT TUBE ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE BAY....one of the worst ideas ever.

So I had been wanting to get my fiancee' out for some shore fishing (catching) since she accompanied me on my first couple harbor trips where i got horribly skunked. I lost 2 fish, one felt like a halibut. We got a late start on the day because she refuses to wake up early for "fishing". She caught her first harbor fish, then her second! Both were shorties but still nice halibuts. I got skunked, but I'm glad I was able to hook her up on some fish.
