I’ve had an amazing run over the last month with new species and PB’s. Back in December, I tied my most calicos landed in a session from shore with 7 fish capped by a 21” beast. I FINALLY landed that illusive striper that had been haunting me for months. AND I capped off an amazing year by losing my 19th LC in a year...wait, I didn’t want that PB.:Shocked::LOL: What happened over the last 4 days just continues a crazy run of luck for me and can only be described as simply AMAZING!
Day 1 - HaliPalooza, The Day After
So, thanks to some intel from Command followed by recon done by Ken (skunked4life), some troops, lead by Ken and Nate (BBQ Sushi) made it down to an A.O. and put the HAMMER down on some flatties, capped by 6 legals.:EyePop: Well, heading back down the day after with high hopes, I joined Ken and Dan (SPDan) for another go at these bad boys...and boy did we lay the wood to ‘em!:Wink:
Ken led us to the honey hole, but things just didn’t want to kick in at grey light. I figured, uh oh, this might be one of those “you shoulda been here yesterday” deals. We worked our way down the beach and off in the distance, I could see birds working. Ken and Dan continued to work a hole that we had come across, while I marched down about a half mile to see what all the commotion was. Well, when I got there, I found out...torpedo barrage. I figured maybe there’d be some flat ones mixed in with all the activity but I just couldn’t keep the dang things off the LC. I finally gave up after landing a dozen or so of them and headed back to where I could see Ken and Dan working over some shorts.
Ken started things quickly followed by Dan. Ken moved up the beach a ways, where the fun had really happened the day before. When I got to him, I started working the trench in front of us and on my second cast in, BAM! My day really started. It looked like a legal but after measuring him up he just didn’t make the cut, coming in at about 21”. Two casts later, BAM! Another just short. Well, this is getting interesting. Two casts later...KABOOM! The right kind! I get him on the beach and he tapes out at about 24”. My first legal of the year!:Dancing Banana: Dan followed up shortly after with his first of the year, a 22.5” legal. What followed was simply amazing. There were flatties coming out of the water right in front of us and at times, it became sight fishing, casting at where they were breaking water. Ken had to leave early, but not before nailing 5 shorts. We met a really cool guy, Kelly (remington) who is now new to the FNN boards.:Wink: Along with half a dozen or so other guys, it was like a hot perch bite...only these were flatties, up and down the beach in a half mile stretch. Dan had made his way back to the hole we found at grey light and nailed a 26” legal for his second of the day. As the day wore on, and my hallpass had WAY expired, I started making my way toward Dan and about 50 yards shy of his position, I lay into a heavyweight. He started coming in quick but I could tell he had some girth. I get him 5 feet from shore with a good visual and he BOLTS for open ocean. He looks to be a healthy 30ish” fish, but I could also see that I only had the tail hook in his lip and there was a nice wad of kelp wrapped on the line. Sure enough, I feel slack and hunch over in defeat. Oh well, can’t complain AT ALL about how this day went. I ended up with my personal best 10 flatties in one session, topped by a 24” legal, a dozen or so torpedos and my first two butterfly rays ever (new species), one of which had me going for a while with his barndoor imitation. Dan got 2 legals and 6 shorts. Ken got 5 shorts...and he left 2 1/2 hours early. Kelly ended the day with 11 shorts. 34 flatties between 4 guys in one session? EPIC!!! The other guys up and down the beach were hammering ‘em as well. Simply amazing...

Day 2 - Kicking Off The Mini-vacation Right
My wife decided that she wanted to get out of town for a few days with the kids and unwind a bit from the holidays since she still had some time off of work. Nowhere far, just as long as we were away from home. Well, fortunately, our hotel put me pretty dang close to the honey hole...might as well strike while the iron is hot. AND we were gonna be there for 3 nights, so I get to keep striking!
I gear up and realize that I didn’t bring my camera on the trip so I had to use my phone. Because I had left the family at the hotel, I needed to leave my headphones on in case they called and needed me to come back. Well, those headphones made for a big pain in the rear, so you’ll have to forgive me for the lack of photos...but I’m sure you’ll get the picture, so to speak.:Wink: I figured it’s a Monday, I’d probably have the spot to myself. Well, there was another guy there, George, but we made another day of it. I went to chat with him and introduce myself and he told me that he had got a short right before I showed up. Things didn’t start off as hot as the day before and George made his way down the beach. Right after he left...you guessed it, the bite went off. In a half hour stretch, I landed 8 flatties, capped off by a 22.5” legal. After the 3rd short I was trying to yell down to George to come back but he couldn't hear me and I figured maybe he was having some luck of his own. This day was a bit different. The bite didn’t sustain as long and there were no visual signs like the day before, BUT I still managed a new personal best of 11 flatties in one session, with one torpedo and two more butterfly rays to cap off my count. George made his way back and right before he made it back to my location, laid into a 26” legal. He didn’t score anything else, but two fish capped off by that nice fish is a great session in anyone’s book.

Day 3 - Highs and Lows
One thing I noticed over the last couple days is that these fish didn’t get active till after the sun was up, so I decided on a different strategy for Day 3. I knew the tide was gonna be low so I went to a spot that I had some luck at during the spring of last year. I planned to fish the greylight here and head over to the honey hole right as the sun peaked out. Well, not the brightest idea I ever had. The structure I wanted to fish is only reachable on a extremely low tide or with a REALLY far cast. When I got there, I realized that I was gonna have to get in deep to make that cast. SO, my dumb wades in chest deep and proceeds to get hammered by waves. Boy that can wake you up fast considering the air temp was measuring 47°. AND, I was still coming up about 30 yards shy of my target. Needless to say, I got the heck outta there and headed back to the promised land.
Again, I figured I’d be the only one there, but as I walk up to the spot, I see Kelly and a friend working the area. We immediately start into ‘em again. After 20 or so shorts, you kinda start to get a good feel of what should end up legal and put the right bend on the rod. Well, on my third cast, BAM, big hanger! I start working him through the trench but POOF! He pulls the hook and wins his freedom. A few casts later, BAM, another good hanger, this one doesn’t give me the time of day and unbuttons really quick in the battle. Two good fish gone and I’m thinking, uh oh, one of THOSE days.:Shocked: I quickly get a couple of shorts and Kelly nails a 22.5” legal. His buddy, Curtis, starts laying into the pancake stack as well and as he and Kelly were measuring up a fish that ended up JUST shy of legal, I get nailed. To my surprise this fish decides to do a marlin immitation and starts tailwalking down the trench in front of me. I was like, “What the heck? Am I in Cabo?” :LOL: I immediately do the largemouth bass technique of laying the rod inverted to try and drive the fish down, thinking he might spit the hook at that rate. It works and I get him settled in. Having pulled the hooks on a few fish over the last couple of days I worked him nice a slow and let him wash up with the surge. He tapes out at 25” and I have my first legal of the day. We continue to work the spot and manage another nice handful of shorts before we start making our way down to some holes to the south. Kelly has to leave but decides to fling out a few more casts and it pays off big time. He lays into a nice 24” legal which he packs up for dinner. I hit another pancake and realize that it’s about time for me to leave, but decide to call my wife to extend my hallpass. She says fine and I get an extra half hour to do some damage...well, I MAY have taken a LITTLE longer than a half hour.:whistle: Three casts after I hang up with her, KABOOM! Game on again! This time I can feel the right kind. I take my time, get him to the skinny and see a good mid to high 20’s fish coming near my feet. Again, though, I can see that he’s only got the trailer hook in his lip and sure enough, he makes a run and DOINK! Bye Bye!:Angry: Oh well, another great day that I can’t complain about. SO, I keep working and don’t get any love but right as I’m about to walk back to the car, make a move back to the main honey hole for a COUPLE of last casts.:Wink: Well, it pays off. On my second cast, I get nailed and he heads straight for the kelp. I keep working him and he comes free. After a short battle I get him on the beach for my second legal of the day, taping out at about 23”. While I’m measuring him up, Curtis comes up behind me. I had thought he had left but he was just working some spots upstream of my position when he saw me hook up. He asks if I’m gonna keep the fish and I reply that I let all my fish go (except for one that I gave to a friend:Wink:). He then asks if he can keep it to feed his family since he only had a dose of pancakes throughout the day. It was great fishing with these two guys and I’m only happy to oblige. With time run out, I head back to the hotel with a new PB of two legals in one session. Not sure of the exact numbers for Kelly and Curtis but they got quite few fish, capped off by Kelly’s 2 legals. I ended up with 5 shorts and 2 legals.

[B]Day 4 - Keeping The Streak Going
At this point, I’m not sleeping well. I keep thinking that the next day’s gonna be even better! One problem, though, is my wife’s patience is wearing thin with my excessively tardy returns. I promise her that I’d cut the session short and head back at greylight. The clock is ticking so I’m really hoping the fish get it in gear this morning. Well, they didn’t disappoint. I get to the spot and this time, it’s all mine. Right as the sky starts to light up, so do the flatties. It’s one bite after another for the next hour. Short strikes, pulled hooks, broken hooks (probably from over-zealous hook removal from prior fish) but I still manage 12 shorts...a new PB flattie count for one session. There were no big hook-ups today. Even the fish that broke hooks didn’t feel like the “right kind”. I did manage a couple of YFC to add to the count, but with a nickname like Colonel Croaker...go figure. All toll for 4 days, I managed 39 flatties (including four legals), a baker’s dozen jack smelt, 4 butterfly rays and 2 YFC. WOW! I don’t think it can be said any other way...WOW!
The closest thing to legal today taping out at 21.75”

At this point, I’m not sleeping well. I keep thinking that the next day’s gonna be even better! One problem, though, is my wife’s patience is wearing thin with my excessively tardy returns. I promise her that I’d cut the session short and head back at greylight. The clock is ticking so I’m really hoping the fish get it in gear this morning. Well, they didn’t disappoint. I get to the spot and this time, it’s all mine. Right as the sky starts to light up, so do the flatties. It’s one bite after another for the next hour. Short strikes, pulled hooks, broken hooks (probably from over-zealous hook removal from prior fish) but I still manage 12 shorts...a new PB flattie count for one session. There were no big hook-ups today. Even the fish that broke hooks didn’t feel like the “right kind”. I did manage a couple of YFC to add to the count, but with a nickname like Colonel Croaker...go figure. All toll for 4 days, I managed 39 flatties (including four legals), a baker’s dozen jack smelt, 4 butterfly rays and 2 YFC. WOW! I don’t think it can be said any other way...WOW!
The closest thing to legal today taping out at 21.75”
