Cabrillo 5-28 success!

Had a great time at Cabrillo on the inside this afternoon in spite of the wind. I caught my first legal halibut today
(released), a short wsb (released), and a 17" spotted bay bass which I kept and ate for dinner. I was OTW at 3:30 and fished until sundown.
The halibut was 22" and a smidge but I didn't feel secure with my measurement on my homemade board slopping around in the wind and waves so figured it was better to release the fish. I was gentle with it and did all I could to take care of it.

I caught all the fish on plastic swim baits with 1.5 ounce leadhead. Basically I just put in at the boat ramp, drifted out towards the green buoy, pedaled back against the wind -- repeat. I got bit every time and had several fish on that I didn't manage to land. I got the short wsb near the green buoy and I got the spotted bay bass right up next to the jetty in the kelp near the entrance to the marina.

This odd story, there was a little skunk wandering around at the tip end of the jetty by the boat ramp. I pedaled over to take his picture and he decided to go swimming! He started swimming right towards me and I decided it was time to pedal away!
I may have been chased by a skunk, but I certainly wasn't skunked. What a great day, the the bas was quite tasty for dinner!
btw == I'm coming up to Eureka with my hobie on June 13-17. I hope to fish Trinidad harbor and .. .. ??

Ah -- thanks for that reminder -- on the hookups. I'm looking forward to that trip. I may book a ride with Phil Glenn on Shellback one day.
