It's been a while since I took the boat out.  I noticed that I'm having some steering issues lately, so need to look into that matter.

Otherwise, it was a good day, but not great.  No macks anywhere to be found when i heard they were everywhere the day before.  Steve and I caught a few dozen assorted rockfish on megabaits as well as calico and sand bass.

Even caught my first Shlongfish in a while.

We had treefish, gophers, vermillion, Olive, Bank and calico rockfish as well as a handful of calico and sand bass.

I switched up baits to play around a bit with a 6oz lead head I poured and painted on a 10" grub.  Total lingcod bait....  or apparently whitefish bait!?!?  How in the hell did he do that????

Then we made a move and I experimented bass fishing with the big grub and wanted to send Chris pics of the spotlock.  It's become too funny to lighten up now.  LOL

I caught 3 big sandies and a cali before calling it the day.  Last thing I expected was to have the sandies so aggressively smash that huge bait!

Both 4# class fish on the 10" grub!

Well, it was a decent day.  Not great, but just felt good to be off Terra Firma.

Thanks for reading!

You were killing it later in the day. I think i did better without the spot lock.

Great day to be on the water.
