Breaking in the new Team57 Shirts 05/26 Balboa Pier **pics**
It has been awhile since we hit Balboa pier so Sapen, Sint and I decided to go after I got off work.
We knew we had to get out and break in our new 57 shirts ASAP.
Arrived at about 7:30 expecting it to be packed and were pleasantly suprised to see that it wasn't the case at all. We were able to walk right up to our normal spot and get to it.
Started off pretty slow at first (as it usually does there for us) for about the first hour. Then all of a sudden my pole about jumps into the water. I pick it up and line was just peeling off of my reel. Was able to make a little ground here and there but mostly just let it run hoping that i could get to see what was on the other end. The line then headed toward the long end of the pier and I thought it may be my chance to get a glimpse of what it might be. Then my line started going under the pier as the line was peeling off the spool again. Didnt take long after that before snap, lost him! Guessing probably a big ray or something. Oh well was fun while it lasted. A few hours later almost same thing happens. Pole about over the side and leader was immediately snapped. Hmmm.. Didn't even get to pick up my pole that time.
Sapen was the most productive by far. She hit 3 thornbacks and a small "Butt" and it was her first ever! Was kinda cool to see her catch it.
I ended up with 4 thornbacks and Sint avoided the skunk with one of his own.
Saw two large Bat Rays caught. Both had to go over 20lbs each easy.
All in all was a good night out.
Here are a few pics of the night, hope you enjoy.
