Nice Report. I've been trying to be brave and go down there. That still looks like decent fishing to me. Good job on the mixed bag.

awsome trip man. Looked pretty sweet.keep them coimmin
Sounds like you need to get down there soon!!
Memories are great, but reliving the excitement is better!! (I sound like a travel agent! LOL!) Glad you enjoyed the read!
You would have so much fun down there Granny!
A hardcore angler like you will definitely do a lot of killing!!
Steve, yeah I hate to say it...but you did miss out on a great time.
But there's always a next time.
Also, you know you could use the ocean... wink wink.
We'll tie a rope to you and turn around. LOL!!
Eric, thanks!
You've never heard of tuna pens???
FYI: You can't write with them...
The drive was totally worth it.
Actually, when you have a lot to talk about time just slips by.
And the occasional cute girl walking on the side of the road makes it a fun ride! LOL!
As I'm always telling you, GET OUT THERE AND FISH!!
Dean, it was a great weekend.
So, you wanna elaborate on your experiences in jail?
WE KILLED THEM!!
When you ask for it, you will get it.
Drunk out of your mind is not a good state to be in.
Ricky, thanks! Yes, a multi-species day is always awesome!
And to end the season on a WSB is the best way to go!!
Thanks for the props!
Arthur, you missed out bro.
I know you're busy so I won't rag on you, but you really should have been there.
The night time fishing was ridiculous! You would have had a blast!
BTW, do you have any good tips on how to avoid getting all caught up on eel grass?
The place is covered with it, so every cast you come back with a pound of eel grass.
Rich was getting so frustrated with it, that he changed his setup to a bobber and squid strip instead of casting a spoon or lure.
Lizzay, "decent" fishing doesn't even start to describe it.
You gotta get your arse down there!
Chivo, thanks!
Paddy, there's always next time.
And judging from what I saw, I don't think much is going to change down there any time soon. It's like time just slows down there...still same since 1971.

I know, I'm dying to make one of these trips. I really appreciate the invite from you guys. This is the busy time of the year for me and with the way the economy is going I have to stay and concentrate on the biz. Always hard for me finding time to fish in the fourth quarter. Sometime next year for sure!
As for the eel grass, not much that you can do about it. Time to brush up on your Bass fishing techniques. Swimbaits with a weed guard and start finessing.
Killer trip! Seeing those pictures makes me wish I had more time to fish, but I have been way too busy with school to do any real fishing trips.
If you want to avoid the eel grass try drop shotting a 4 or 5in plastic (zoom fluke or other large mouth bass drop shot minnows) with a long enough gap between the lure and sinker so the lure floats above the grass. Texas rigged (weedless) grubs also work really well spotties. You could even try some topwater lures if you feel like it!
...you....bastards.
That was the "not too shabbiest" report I have seen in ... ever.
I'm rather jeleous because while you guys were out there slaying the fishies, i was standing at a booth at a convention in San Diego. Thursday Friday and Saturday the weather was spectacular and then my boss keeps me a day longer just so that I could fish San Diego on Sunday... and Sunday it F'ing rained (as is apparent in the pics that Joe put up).
Joe - Congratualtions on your elusive gray ghost.
Sansou - Where's all the Sheepheads mang??
What a way to end the fishing year.
you bastards.
Love,
KK
