Our Mission: Bring my dad a legal hali for Father's Day dinner.
My Secret Side Mission: Outfish Jason. :Envious:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOTH MISSIONS ACCOMPLISHED!!! :Big Smile:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Got to the spot around 0500. Cold, intermittent drizzle, waves a little rough, salad in the early morning.
Jason starts the morning off early with this short Hali

Shortly after he hooks into this nice YFC

Water was getting rougher so we made a move for calmer waters. I started to feel the pressure and was praying to Poseidon, "PLEASE don't let me get skunked today, PLEASE!!" :LOL:
A little while later, Poseidon answered me with a chunky YFC. :Big Grin:

It was a good move because we finally found a spot with consistent action. We were both farming fish before I hooked into a drag burner. I felt the headshake and knew it was a good-sized Hali.
We were both happy to find that we were able to accomplish our mission fairly early in the day. :High Five:

This one's for you, Dad. :Razz:

K.I.A. :Twisted:
http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss284/Jaysuuun/Surf%20Fishing/June%2019%202011/DSC00467.jpg
Jason's big bendo. Could it be a double legal day??

http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss284/Jaysuuun/Surf%20Fishing/June%2019%202011/DSC00472.jpg
Nope, sorry, 1/4" too short. Whomp whomp whoooomp. :Sad:
http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss284/Jaysuuun/Surf%20Fishing/June%2019%202011/DSC00473.jpg
But Jason was still all smiles.
http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss284/Jaysuuun/Surf%20Fishing/June%2019%202011/DSC00475.jpg
Shortly after I hooked into another nice Hali. Got it close to shore and rested it on a grassy rock waiting for a wave to help me bring it in. Wave came, I went to pull it in but only came up with a jumble of grass on my lure - no Hali. :Angry: Sigh... the one that got away. :Rolls Eyes:
But then, I get another drag burner. It was pretty heavy, and it slammed my LC about 10 feet in front of me. Wasn't too sure what I had until I saw it in this wave. Can you see it?
http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss284/Jaysuuun/Surf%20Fishing/June%2019%202011/DSC00477.jpg
My new PB and first surf Calico. :Razz:
http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss284/Jaysuuun/Surf%20Fishing/June%2019%202011/DSC00478.jpg
My previous PB Calico at the harbor a few years ago. :LOL:
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a259/xotessox8/2.jpg
Got a smaller Calico a few minutes later.
http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss284/Jaysuuun/Surf%20Fishing/June%2019%202011/DSC00480.jpg
Continued fishing the same spot but the tide turned around and the waves were getting bigger. I was wading a little deeper than Jason when a big swell came along. I braced myself and braved it, then turned around to see Jason PISSED cauz he just got rolled by the same wave. :Idiot:
Unfortunately, due to this wave his cell phone was K.I.A. :mad:
http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss284/Jaysuuun/Surf%20Fishing/June%2019%202011/DSC00491.jpg
Although Jason was soaked and cold, he still managed to hook this nice Sandie.
http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss284/Jaysuuun/Surf%20Fishing/June%2019%202011/DSC00482.jpg
Jason got a little daring and ventured out to some hard to reach areas.
http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss284/Jaysuuun/Surf%20Fishing/June%2019%202011/DSC00484.jpg
I was too scared to get out there with him :Envious: so I decided to take some nature shots.

http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss284/Jaysuuun/Surf%20Fishing/June%2019%202011/DSC00485.jpg
This little guy didn't want his picture taken. He was ready to fight me. :LOL:
http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss284/Jaysuuun/Surf%20Fishing/June%2019%202011/DSC00488.jpg
In Jason's attempt to fish the treacherous terrain, he lost an LC. :Sad:
So we moved again and I came up with another YFC, the last fish of the day.
http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss284/Jaysuuun/Surf%20Fishing/June%2019%202011/DSC00489.jpg
After this fish, we made a couple more moves but came up empty. Tide was coming in, salad was getting thicker, and Jason was shivering in his waders. :LOL: Decided to call it a day around 1030.
Fish Count
Jason:
2 Short Butts
1 YFC
1 Sandie
(2 Farmed)
Tess:
2 YFCs
2 Calicos - 1 PB
1 Legal Hali
(3 Farmed, 1 lost Hali)
I got what I came for: a legal for my dad and I outfished Jason once again. :Envious: Didn't I say it was ON?? :ROFL:
Got back to the truck and was getting out of my gear when I heard a POP. :Confused: Luckily it didn't happen while we were fishing.
