With the heat wave we are having I figured what better day to hit the harbor after work for some bass fishing since its usually cooler at the beach. Wrong. It was hotter then hot and not to mention also windy. Noticed the low tidal movement and upon suggestions given decided to try my luck. Got to Balboa Island around 4 pm and started throwing a bay smelt colored 3" Big Hammer. walked the shore line and fished the docks for close to an hour before switching up to a halloween colored big hammer.
About this time the wind was getting a little nastier and I noticed that my line during my casts would get picked up by the wind and get wrapped around the docks. Needless to say within 20 minutes I lost three big hammers and 3 lead heads.
After the 3rd lost lead head I decided to pack it up and head home.
Unfortunately the bass escaped me once again but their time is coming I can feel it.
