Well who knows why the jetty was closed Friday but open Sat anyway met up with Homefish about an hour before sunset and gave him the rundown on the evenings tactics(classified). headed out to light wind and moderate swells and had a bite on my first cast, couldn't get it to stick though, thought it was going to be another epic night. No, I only caught 2 fish in the 4 hours we were out there. Homefish caught 3 between 8-12in. Not bad for a first timer but mine were bigger. Had to head in a little earlier than we wanted to when harbor patrol drove by and told us they were going to close the jetty and we needed to leave. It was about time to go anyway but I just didn't feel like I had closure, you know the last half-hour of one more casts. BTW my 2 calicos pictured below.
