Windy, windy, windy. Oh, did I say it was windy. Since I was fresh, I thought I'd brave the wind since it was just blowing down the coast. Paddled to the kelp beds just in front of Latigo. I think it took me about 40 minutes in which would have normally taken me maybe 15 minutes. I anchored off to the kelp and started tossing green whams all over the place. I finally got a couple of sandies bite and one type of bass I just couldn't make out. The markings weren't what I was use to seeing. I'll have to take a photo the next time I catch one. Though he did have a very effective defense mechanism. It took a dump while I was getting ready to handle him. Grossed me out so bad I let him go. With that stinch embedded into my tainted, impressionable brain, I wouldn't be able to enjoy eating him.
I drifted the whole way back to Corral bouncing an 8oz ball attached to a dodger/squid/triple swivel for nada.
I too am a disgruntal angler. Did someone forget to renew the fishes contracts? Are the fish protesting. This is starting to affect my ego.
