Close to 2 trips a week? I'm jealous. lol

Nice job as always w/ a legal sandie to boot! I've heard of 3-5lbrs in the harbor, but that species of fish has always been small for me. My best was a 12" on a spinnerbait. Spotties on the other hand have been much better for me.

And 39 fish in a trip?!?! Damn! My best tube trip was 23 fish at the LAB a few years back. That was a damn good trip!

Hey Ifishtoolittle,

5 fish landed on this trip ... but I was on a RECON mission in LAH the other weekend and it was also virgin territory for Daniel and myself, so when we got on some good spots .... the fish just  Shocked  kept-a-coming.
The bite was very unusual for me to say the least.

Thanx for checking out my fish report!
Happy Holidays!!

Dan

Thanx david886720,

Every trip is a great great Sir.... when I can make my way out there to the suds!
Catching fish is just the ... creme' la creme'!

Breaking my PB fish counts, or landing PB's and or landing NS's ... they all make my day.

Or just spending the day talking about fishing with my fishing buddies (like yourself) is also very cool and well worth my time!
I also enjoy getting excited for my buddies for when they give me a hoot that they've hooked into a nice fatty that's just putting the wood to their rods ... very cool.

I love fishing and the personal gratification that I get back in return .... there's nothing like it and every session is a great trip in my books!

Thanx for taking the time to check out my fish report David!

Happy Holidays Brotha!

Dan
