Balboa Pier/NPH & City Park lake

[legacy1]

RayO and I started off the day at the Balboa Pier at 6:15a.m. Two large schools of anchovies hanging around the pier provided the live bait for the day. First hookup was the usual "pest" fish:



Next fish I farmed was a small leo shark...And than a 1/2 hour later ZZZZZZZ!



36" legal, a great fighter and a beautiful fish!!!

This bug was munching on my bait in the surfline:


RayO had the stripe when we left the pier so we headed over to Coral St. Public Dock which always delivers...however it was dead. It was time to go and we both agreed to wait and throw one more cast for 10 more minutes, and then:

Bendo!


A 16" spottie, at first I thought it was a bat ray it hit RayO's pole so hard. He had 6lb. test so he took his time and finessed it in, it was a good fight.


After eating dinner we went to our local city park lake and tried to entice some bluegill with a little bread dough to no avail. A great 12 hour fishing day!
