Randy and I took my sled out for an inshore run. Boat ran great, weather cooperated, and the fish bit. We hit the usual spots and got a few bass here and there. We saw a bunch of birds in the distance and went to investigate. There was acres of bait being chased up by macs. …and calicos! It was tough getting through the macs to get the bass, but we got plenty of sport coats to 4#.

We did a detour and fished the kelp for a couple hours, scoring a few more calicos.

We finished the day back in 80-100’ and spanked them pretty good. Current was uphill in the morning and downhill in the afternoon. Water temp is still 64 degrees. Total was 57 fish. Bass were 80/20 calico/sandy. Calicos to 4#, sandies to 3#. Randy got a nice goat that was kept for supper. I got a 2# Mack. Thought he was a bone for a minute. On the trailer around 4. Done gassing and washing the boat and rods around 7. 16 hour days are a bitch. Whomever said 65 is the new 45 is full of shit. Advil and the couch are on tap for tomorrow.

    Those chovie jigs worked great. They probably accounted for a third of our fish—and another 50 macs. 4” Kman Special on a 2 oz leadhead (old reliable) did its usual damage.

    That doesnt suck!!!!
    FYI, Looks like your crew has some quality gear there, youre asking for trouble storing your lures up against the guide inserts...
    Thats a huge no / no......
    High risk of damaging the insert.....

    Way to get after it! 16 hour days, unfortunately I remember more of those working than fishing. But been retired 5 years and with the nighttime BFT bite for the last few years, I'm turning the tide.

    And everyone wonders where the slimes are again this year. Dude has his gear set right on the limit every damn week. So sick of it....completely screws the local fishery. Izor's and the flats would come back if he'd just leave the area alone for a bit now and then.
