Nice To Get Out

[Midnightpass]

Not much of a report, but I manged to get out to Alamitos Bay Peninsula for the 1st fishing in over a month.. It was only going to be a short trip, 'cause I'm still trying to shake a bug I caught... I was using some ghost shrimp I bought at Big Fish in Seal Beach... 1st cast and the shrimp didn't even hit the bottom... Nice, a YFC.... Wide open or 1st cast curse??? ... Mostly 1st cast curse... I only caught 2 more fish... One another YFC, and the other a nicer grade sargo... I had something pecking at the bait like a BSP (There aren't many at this location), so I baited up and tossed to the same spot.. Again the pecking, then hook up... I knew it was no perch by the way it fought, but couldn't figure what it was, until I beached it... The 15" sargo put up a pretty nice fight... Any way that was it, except I saw a group of 5 with a bunch of rods out, and 1 woman was catching some nice fish... I walked over and visited for a bit, and found out that this lady was a 1st timer with her group... And she out fished them all... She had a donkey SFC, that I saw her catch... They were using fresh mussell...

A couple of nice ones Butch . . . particularly the sargo. They're still on my bucket list.

By the way, every time I open one of your posts, I'm impressed as hell with that giant bean in your avatar !

Thanks Bill.. It was a slow day, but I kinda enjoyed the sargo… And just nice to get out….

Sounds like a fun outing, Butch. Those sargo are scrappy fighters. It's almost like that croaker was playing center field and ready to catch your long cast

[Midnightpass]

Yup... It was fun Mike... Maybe I should take fishing lessons from that newbe fisherwoman. .... Or it might have been just the mussel that she was using... ...

Glad you got out Butch, hope you feel better soon. A month's a long time

Thanks Vern… I don’t get sick a lot, but it always seems to lodge in my chest… Hard to shake the cough, and get your energy back… But I’ll live. ….
