thanks again for putting together another fun outing. I HAD A BLAST!!
also, thanks for the early morning gift :wink: very very cool. It was nice hanging with you and meeting your son.
The fish-off was cool....K3vin, my kids no longer want your autographed picture on their wall. When i told them what happened they immediately ripped up the photos and tossed them in the trash. I didnt know the competition meant so much to them. Later in the evening both kids were running around screaming BBFC ROCKS!!!! My boy muttered something about NBU but im not quite sure what he was saying :lol: :lol:
It was nice meeting you Bassin Chef...hope to see you soon.
Also in case you didnt catch the O_L trying to "win friends and influence people" it was very funny. There was a very nice family that was near the back of the boat. The mom looked beyond terrified when she saw the sardines in the live well chutes....the look on her face was priceless!!! But it was nothing compared to the look on her face when O_L grabbed the sardine closest to her then chomped the head off. Classic!!!!! Also note the young girl in the family did a great job bringing a whopping 2lb 7oz perch up through 3 strands of kelp....she handled it very well That thing was huuuuuuuge!!!!
Thanks to macdaddy again for some enjoyable conversation and the Kencor rod - sweeeet!!! Im starting to enjoy raffles with 2 Kencors and 1 G-Loomis in the last year :D
I did end up catching my first "would have been a keeper" goat with my 2lb gear what a blast. Ill get him again when they are in season. I spent no more than 30 minutes playing with the light tackle as that was my only time touching any bait. The entire day was spent with the Bonita Feathers and Megabait lures. i have no idea how many macks I got which kept the day fun but also kept the bonita off my hook.....look out next time!!
Props to Jason and the native sun crew. You guys all make the trips very enjoyable. GD....i had some great convos with one of the crew....I thought his name Gabriel (since that is what his LBSF shirt said). is this right??
Sorry about the lack of fishing pix.....i was busy being the mackslayer :lol: but here are a few:
