My Total "Variety Pack" fish count: for today's session (1) YFC, (1) Legal 25" Hali, (1) 12" Jack Smelt, (1) one short Hali (1) 15" Checker side.
At 0600 hrs I was all geared up and began my 1/2 mile hike to my AO and saw this car that looked like Wingnut's but I wasn't sure, so as I approached the car cautiously from behind ... one needs to be careful while sneaking up behind someone ..... I peeked in the window :EyePop: and saw Arthur pounding away on his cell phone; to my :EyePop: surprise, and we were both :EyePop: surprised to see each other .... in the very best :Big Grin: of ways! We could not have planned it any better! :Wink: So we chatted a bit and decided to divide and conquer two adjoining AO's and share the INTEL afterwards! Make certain to check :Shocked: out the Commanders :Thumbs Up: awesome report! You had yourself a great session out there brotha!
While hiking-in in the dark on the dirt path I got to within 20 ft of this calm little critter! :Skunk: We parted ways without disturbing one another or making a BIG ::Bug Eyes: STINK out of our surprise encounter! :ROFL::Explode:
At 0630 hrs my feet are in the salt and on the second cast with my LC I get a nice lil' hit, a 14" YFC. Ok .... well that get's rid of my second :Skunk: skunk of the day! :LOL: Phewww!

So I'm fan casting and working my way down to some more of my familiar honey holes on this stretch of beach when my rod goes BENDO again and I float this 25" legal Halibut onto the sand with a final wave surge. :Big Grin: SWEET! Thank you Poseidon!!
This makes my second legal in two days! I beached a 23" Hali yesterday!

So I continue on fan casting and still working my way down to some more of my familiar honey holes on this stretch of beach when my rod goes BENDO again and I land a 12" Jack Smelt. Released in the water ... no pic's.
I resumed casting my LC and as soon as my lure touched the water .... SLAM ... followed by some head shakes and a bit of hide-n'-seek behind some structure, Heck .... it wasn't even two minutes before I beach this nice lil' 15"+ checker side! I'm always happy to beach at least one Bass per session if I can! They always put up a great lil' fight at first!

At this point nothing was happening with my trusted LC .... so ... I switched over to the Drop-Shot and my last fish of this session was this lil' pancake which was de-hooked and released safely while standing in the water.

As I'm hiking out; back towards my vehicle, I encountered something else on my path .... a harmless 3 ft+ long indigenous "Hissssss" laying across the trail, sunning it's self on the warm trail. :Bug Eyes: Where is my trail blazing Brotha ....skunked4life aka: Ken :LOL: when I really needed him! I've truly had some strange :EyePop: coming's and going's on the trail this day!

We both parted and or slithered in our own destined directions. Note: Mr Slithers did allow me to pick him up for a brief hello! What a magnificent creature!
Note: The hooks were removed from the fish prior to measurements and photos being taken, followed by their expedited release.
Thanx for checking out my fish report!
