Conditions: Early morning wind making the water surface appear like stucco, the wind died down by 0730 hrs and it became relatively flat and the water became gin clean with a few rogue tanker breakers rolling in now and then. I was rolled by one because I turned my attention to something else, not as important. Poseidon has a pretty funny since of humor at times! :LOL: Ha ha ha!

Session Duration: 0600 hrs to 1145 hrs.
Distance covered: 3.17 miles. Calories Burned: 863 calories. Total Elevation Climbed: 491 feet per my RunKeeper app on my iPhone 5.
Assault Tactic: LC 110 and drop-shot. Note: All fish were caught once again on the LC lure. D/S= Nada.
AO : aka: Backyard
My Total fish count: A repeat of yesterday's catch: (3) three short Hali and (3) Cali's.
On arrival to my AO ... I was met by this scene. The wind kept changing directions and the water surface looked like stucco.

My feet were in the salt at 0600 and by 0757 I hooked into this 15" Hali on the LC lure. My "SKUNK BUSTER"! :Wink:

The winds finally calmed down and it looked like the makings of a great day! :Big Grin:

At 0857 I hooked into this 13 1/2" Cali.
http://i1237.photobucket.com/albums/ff467/dancorery/P1000109.jpg (http://s1237.photobucket.com/user/dancorery/media/P1000109.jpg.html)
At about 1000 I hear my name ... I turn around and it's my S.W.A.T. Brotha Frank aka: illest! :Big Grin: So we got to fish, talk and have a good time together until it was time to go.
At 1045 I hooked into this 12 1/2" Cali.
http://i1237.photobucket.com/albums/ff467/dancorery/P1000123.jpg (http://s1237.photobucket.com/user/dancorery/media/P1000123.jpg.html)
Then I get slammed at 1101 ..... my stix suddenly gets this huge bendo in it .... and almost gets jerked right out of my grip ..... :Embarrassed: . :LOL: Ha ha ha! .... Frank thought that it was rather funny too .... :LOL: Ha ha ha! .... my lure was longer than this lil' brute! :LOL: Ha ha ha!
You can see it in Frank's eyes .... Frank is thinking .... S K U N K B U S T E R!
http://i1237.photobucket.com/albums/ff467/dancorery/P1000125.jpg (http://s1237.photobucket.com/user/dancorery/media/P1000125.jpg.html)
The story behind this next photo is: Frank has been skunked up to this point but needed to water the bushes and so he gave me his permission to catch the next fish ... his skunk buster ... Ha ha ha ... he was saying it like I couldn't do it! Well before he could finish his business .... I lip pierced this lil' 12" Cali at 1122 .
Frank was :Explode: ..... this could have been his skunk buster!

At 1130 I hooked into one more 14" hali which was released in the water without a photo. And now it's time to head for mi casa!
Some added parting photos .........
A few under water shots. My salt water proof Van Staal VS-100G reel. The water actually doesn't harm it at all and the mfg actually recommends that you submerse it in clean salt water to rinse away any sand from it! :EyePop: It works!

Near our cars ... some friendly people took our picture
http://i1237.photobucket.com/albums/ff467/dancorery/d8b64f0a-c26b-46ed-8b99-49e2e56ecd6f.jpg (http://s1237.photobucket.com/user/dancorery/media/d8b64f0a-c26b-46ed-8b99-49e2e56ecd6f.jpg.html)
Frank had a leak in his waders and he is indicating the water level inside of his waders. I could actually hear the water sloshing around inside of his waders as we hiked back to our cars .... hearing all of that water made me want to water some plants too ... :LOL: ha ha ha! ... that was way too funny Frank! Frank said that he figured it at approx one gallon in each leg! :LOL: I had such a good time with you today .... you kept me either smiling or laughing the entire time!

PS ... I also got to hook up yesterday with another of my S.W.A.T Brotha's ... Don aka: bachiboy, it's always a good time when we hook it up!
This has been a great weekend to run into friends .... unexpected! I wonder what tomorrow will bring ... who will it be!! :Wink:
Note: The hooks were removed from the fish prior to taking measurements and before photos were taken, followed by their expedited releases.
Thanx for checking out another of my fish reports!
