Julie had school, so I went to DP solo, chasing points for the WCW contest. Since she got hers' Saturday, I was hoping for some halibut to close the 140 point gap she has on me (or at least keep pace).
I managed one legal halibut (23") for some catch-n-release points. Here's the photo:
Rather poor photo, I guess I only take good ones of Julie's catches.
The day started slow, with intermitent good-sized waves rolling in. I couldn't fish our favorite spots until about 8:00AM, when the tide was high enough to change the break. Then the action started picking up.
My final tally:
4 short 'buts, released
1 legal 'but, released
2 leopard sharks, released
2 legal sandies, released
3 barracuda, released, 1 might have been legal (in the harbor)
1 22" WSB, released (scrappy fighter)
Back at Baby's Beach I met two nice guys in Tim and Donovan, fellow yakkers. Off the the water by 1:30PM, early by our standards.
At least I had some points, to keep Julie from blowing me away.
