Met up with sullyfish and his buddy on Friday night to do a little tubin for spotties in Newport Bay. We had a great tide to fish with lots of movements so fishing should have been good.....it was for sully and his buddy.
I got to te launch site a little late and had to catch up with them...they had been fishing about 30 min before I finally joined them out by the Harbor patrol station. Sully is one hell of a fisherman!!!!! In about an hours time he landed about 15 or so spottieds and a dink calico.....his buddy wass hot on his tail with 8 or so plus a nice legal halibut. I managed a nice #1.5 spottie before the fishing GODS got angry at me!!!! :twisted:
The three of us just kicked pasted the Coast Gaurd station and started fishing a group of pileings. Sully started pulling up fish left and right....I make a short cast to one of the pileings and instant snag!!!!! :twisted: I retie and put some unibutter on my bait...make a cast and crap!!!!! my rod slipped right out of my hands!!!!! :twisted: :twisted: and to the bottom of the bay!!!!! Sully and his buddy tried for 15 mins to snag it with no luck!!!! I didn't want to stop their test of unibutter verses other sents so I left them to fish and I kicked back to the launch and headed home!!!
At least I beat the skunk before I lost my rod thanks to the unibutter!!!
Here is what my offerings to the fish Gods was:
Shimano Clarus 6'6" medium light casting rod with an Okuma VS 200 casting reel.......hope it made them happy!!
PS. That unibutter seems to work great but it is very very slippery!!!!
