2026 Pics

My 9th, was out west at 10:30 PM, was greeted by a wall of fog. Threw into it for a few hours, took a ride to two other locations and it was the same. So short trip with nothing to show for it. Think that may have been the most dense fog I have seen out there.

Missing 2 Saturday night trips, will be out there 5/9. Crazy anxious to get out there. Driving me nuts.

April 22nd, out West, 10:45 PM – 3:00 AM,  Weather to nice, should have pivoted. Was like a lake, could not find anything. Way to nice of a night out there.

April 21st, out West, 10:15 PM – 3:00 AM,  this was a nice night, wind and waves out back. Had four fish on, landed one. Spaced out on the trip, one was real nice size. Likely my favorite trip of the year so far, just finding the fish.

April 20th, out West, 10:15 PM – 3:00 AM,  this was a chilly one, especially the hands. Big time skunk, had one hit on 13.5″ Gravity Eel. Wind and cold made for some cold hands. Saw one other guy out there and he was also without fish.

April 19th, out West, 10:15 PM – 3:15 AM, Nice chilly night, no fish. Had a nice fish on a Outcast Surfster, hit on a bar and all hell broke loose. Also dropped one on a Lokie Skinny Minnie. Not much action, completely alone out there….wonderful!!

April 18th, out West, 10:30 PM – 3:15 AM, dark night with some fog. Dropped one, missed a few hit, had one other guy out there fishing, same as last week. Loving the solitude!!! Never fish a crowd. Managed three bass, largest on Chucks paint job of a Savage Gear Freestyler, the other two my first fish on the Berkley 9″ Nessie. Bass were ~30, 33 and 36 inches. Fun night.

April 11th, out West, 10:30 PM – 3:30 AM, back side. Only bunker I saw was one washed up. Nice night, little cold on wet hands, fished the incoming, a couple bumps, managed two on the large Freestyler. Fun trip, good to get a bend in the rod.

April 3rd, out West, 10:30 PM – 2:30 AM, back side. Covered about a mile of water, bunker out the wazoo, most I have seen in this area. 8-12 inches, but could not find a fish. easily 75% of casts bumped a bunker, released well over a dozen. Looking forward to next trip, was great to get out there, shake out the cobwebs, had the place to myself, good weather.

Going to go to single trebles again on almost all plugs. Will give it another shot.
