The plan was to go big. I spooled my Abu 6600 with 20# Ande, and tied up some Hali rigs with tripple swivels. I brought frozen squid and Octopus.
low tide 6:59 am 1.9 ft
high tide 1:39 pm 5 ft
I fished the incoming, I started trolling the octopus. Nothing for the first hour. I had a 3in sexy smelt that i was working also. I picked up a lizard fish and was going to try and use it for bait but it came off as i was flinging it in the tube Mad . then I get another one then the squid rig goes off, its a bat though. I almost get spooled in minutes. So I turn and start kicking towards it to gain some line. I fight this thing all over the harbor. Then it starts heading towards a boat NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Eventually it breaks off, 45 minutes later. I am too exhausted to deal with that again so I do not re rig that pole. Beat again by the winged one black eye So I decided to focus on the Bass I pick up a mini sandy in short order. Then I start getting some better models

I made my way over to the moored boats. Then the Spottys joined the fun

Then I hook into something nice! Strong runs,head shakes, and It kind of seemed to get stuck to the bottom confused then it shakes and nothing the line was shredded?? Hali? shark?...
Back to the bass, this was my big fish of the day

Next time I try this I will be more heavily armed with my jig stick and calcutta, it has more stopping power in case i miss my target again. I still managed to turn the skunk into a great day on the water.
Totals:
Lizard fish 2 (13")
Sand Bass 3 (8"-13")
Spotted Bay Bass 4 (12"-16")

Highly doubt-able. But I lost my wedding ring out there yesterday most likely out in the harbor but there is a chance it came off during the launch or return. I know this is a long shot but if anyone comes across it I would be forever in your debt here is the last pic I have of it from yesterday morning before i was floating.
