Left at the desired time around 11 ish tube was holding up fine!! fished around some rocks im familiar with
first fish was a fiesty calico that hit like a train.
second fish was the third cast after a nicer fish almost got me in the rocks i felt him rubbing my line on those rocks but was no match as soon as i lifted my rod higher with more power got her out and a nice spotty right around 12-13 inches. and the tube is still holdng up great

third fish was another fiesty calico around 9-10 inches.

Fourth fish was on the big hammer working a long cast on the rocks hit like a freight train. got her in another spotty around 11 in a half - 12 inches.

i then began to notice im losing air and start kicking back as fast as i could across the harbor.

BOY was it abattle i did not care if my legs were tired i was just kicking none stop as fast as i could across the harbor about half way i think i sunk a good inch. my legs were burning by then and i started kicked harder and faster ..
i finaly get to where i can touch the sand my gear was about half a inch from gttn soaked it got wet in there but thats why i had zip lock bags they save the day.
if i would not have notice my tube leaking right then and there all hell woulda broke loose coulda gone wrong it still went wrong ruined my ftube sessions 3 times in a row now.

well i tried patching that hole on another part of the seam and no go could get her patched was to big trashed my tube in some trash can very frusterated i couldnt tube for the rest of the day..

i had a back up plan if that happend so i hit up a spot i call the "toilet" probly made 300 casts for only 2 halibut.

Weather: patch of clouds here and there Wind: idk but it was windy couldnt stay in a spot for 5 seconds without being pushed to the rocks but uhh around 10 -13MPH not sure!

Tide: incoming high

Water: for the most part visibility at around 4-5 feet. dont have waders didnt need them either water temperature was fine.

plastics: Texas rigged arons magic curly tailed robo worm 4 inch and bighammer red sparkley one :Rolls Eyes:

Hey brandon sorry to hear about your float tube but glad to hear you made it back safe and sound. Those are some really cool fish that you caught and someday Im coming out and I will bring some tricks that work out here and have to go fishing with you and see if they will produce some of those cool looking fish for me and you.

Sorry about the late reply!

Great to meet you in Zuma and when you told me about the patch job on the seam I wondered if it would hold!

Nice multi-species day!
