Solo Session in LAB, Sat 12-1-2018.

Session Summary:
The weather started off clear, cold (52 deg) and slightly windy then the wind slowed down to 1-mph and it warm up to 56 deg byt 9:00 AM, It was a constant OG tide, so I kicked against it for a while and then rode it back to my launch, the water conditions were also perfect again ... but the fishing on the other hand was so-so at best (no fish landed the last hour of the session) ... but yet still lots of fun
