Hi Beachem,
Viking and I fished Dana two days earlier in the pm! Here's a copy of my report! Don't give up on Dana, it's a great place and offers some blue ribbon yak fishing! Perry will confirm that based on his own personal experiences there!
Dana Fishing 7-5-2007 afternoon to dusk!
Viking and Piranha left Baby Beach at approximately 1.45 pm . We had a great afternoon fishing inside the harbor. Terrific weather and a lotta bites/hookups! Sorry, no pics today! Speaking for myself, I caught 2 legal spotties(released), croaker, smelt, and lotsa mystery bites! All fish released! Waiting for the right kind! I've been eating so much fish lately that I'm od'ed on mercury. I turn red when the temperature rises! Lotsa raked baits, samuraied sardines, Mr. H says "I'll leave you the head only!", etc, etc! etc. High point of my day was a solid hookup with what turned out to be a nice leopard shark of about 4' + or _! After a sleigh ride of about 15 or 20 minutes, Wayne was waiting with his gaff to help me land dinner. After coming oooh so close a bunch of times, the leo got lucky and snapped my line. Close encounters of the disappointing kind! Back to square one! The weather was perfect and no wind. An easy paddle back to Baby Beach at dusk! Wayne, great fishing with you as always! Feel free to add on your story. Viking had good action! Wayne, you had an interesting afternoon! BTW, We may repeat this next Thursday! Company welcome!
