Went out about 4 times without much success, but decided it was time to do a short report.

MARCH 24th
0600

Conditions were the best I had seen in a long time. Went out with a friend of mine, so he could catch his PB perch. We saw a guy land a short hali upon arrival, but we couldn't seem to find the fish. At around 0900 he had to leave, and I stayed to try and beat the skunk. While fishing I saw a small whitish whale covered in barnacles less than 60yrds out coming up every 3-4min in the same spot. Finally got a bite, in a trench 5ft away. He was about 14.5"

I tried to take pics of the whale, but he only came up for a couple seconds, blasting water into the air

Also snagged this little thing, no idea what it is. Baby jellyfish?

I have been looking at this very fishy spot for months, and finally decided to check it out during lowtide, to get a feel for the structure. It looked very promising, to try it during high tide with 1-2ft waves. The waves weren't too big, but they were extremely frequent. http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w397/tammyn77/IMG_0245.jpg
I explored for a couple hours, and finally hooked up with this little perch on my way back to the car.

Bill WWO told me the night before he would be coming into town with his lovely wife, and asked if I would like to fish. Since the conditions said BIG WAVES all around we decided to hit LB to get some shelter from the breakwall. We arrived, and withing 5 min I hear "Yahoo" as Bill pulls in a flat fish....of the wrong kind :( haha. With the skunk off his back, but still on mine we keep fishing. 5min later he does it again, and I turn and see another stingray flapping its wings on top of the water, it looked like it was trying to fly away haha.

It was a PB for him, and I have never seen one like it before.

We continued fishing for a couple hours, with no more luck. We then went on a Korean BBQ double date with our ladies, and ate enough assorted meats to satisfy a lion. It was a great day, and it was a pleasure meeting the both of you.

Apr 4th

It had been almost too long since my last trip, and I was getting an itch that only the surf could satisfy. My last trip out with bill my simms wading shoes broke, so I took them in yesterday and luckily they were under warranty and had them replaced at Bob Marriotts. I got out, and found big swells with an 8-9sec intervals. Fishing wasn't too bad, except I had to stand about 15ft away from the water, to avoid the surge of the waves. I Fished the trenches and pretty quickly hooked this nice 16" lady http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w397/tammyn77/IMG_0267.jpg

An hour later I got another bite, thought it was something it wasn't :( and pulled up this 10"er.
http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w397/tammyn77/IMG_0268.jpg I didn't stay too long after that, and decided to head home.

Looking forward to some better conditions later this week.
Best,
Lucas

Dang Lucas no wonder I feel sluggish, I forgot about the Korean BBQ. I ate way to much, still feeling the effects today.

Well I am glad to see you get some photos out and on the Forum. Kinda slow with all the swell keeping people off the water, not much to read lately.

Thanks for posting and don't stop fishing. I don't get down that way very much so I will stayed tuned for more.
Tell Tammy, (I hope I remember that right) that Noriko and I had and great time at dinner and you both were great company.

Till next time

Great shot of the whales! I've been seeing them, too, but way too far out to get a shot. Thanks for that. I'm delighted to see the cycle of spring in the figure of a whale.

Haha you still feel sluggish too? Our bodies are still trying to digest all that wonderful meat. I am glad your wife enjoyed herself, if you guys are ever in the neighborhood, I know there are a couple hundred other Asian places we can try.

This Friday and Saturday are looking pretty good. It's always nice to have small waves, it's alot less stressful not having to avoid the big ones

He was pretty cool, just sitting there. I wish they acted like they do in the movies, shooting out and splashing down with their tails.

Thats why I took it off with my pliers, not taking ANY chances haha

I couldn't agree more! Thanks

Thanks Dan,

The new AOs I have been trying to recon lately are only spitting out perch. I'll find something new soon and hopefully it will be the right kind. :)

Nice report Lucas.......good recap, thanks for sharing.
Have you given up on the Luna?

Not really, I just wanted something that I could fish all day that would be a little lighter, but still be able to handle something heavy. I still have the luna, and I plan on using it soon.

Thanks again
