Nator and I took off looking for some bugs and bass for his birthday. We started at the wall to make bait and hit a few bass. Then we went and made a mess of the sea kittens we planned on using for bait, except for the ones we wanted other toothy sea kittens to grab and mangle, they went in the bait tank.

Went to the spot we wanted to fish and had some sandwhiches and beer and watched the sun drop, it was great til I noticed how far off the spot I drifted another boat racing towards the spot...doh. They rolled up and threw nets recklessly deterring me from even staying in the area, oh well off to the populated area to scratch out a few.

We caught a one big one 3 that were legal but had to measure to be safe and threw back 3 shorts and a barely legal that could have gone either way. We caught quite a few sand bass and sculpin.

Here's some phone pictures I'll upload the pics off the wifes camera when she forgives me for making it smell like "fishy stuff", Just a couple lobster

At least you got some Chris. Glad to see you back on the water! We can never find those darn macs when we need to make bait! Where did you find them?

We used the old heavy chum in a bag and anchored up at the south end of the wall and threw finely chopped anchovy's til they started boiling then hooked em on squid strips

Chris,

Nice job again and sucks about loosing your situational awareness out there!!

In My Profession it could have cost me and my crew our lives!!!!!

But in your case you lost out on a better dinner!!!!

My pot of Buggs is empty so hopefully Eddie , Rich, and I can get out to get a refill before the season ends.

Nice report!

Steve
