Another fine day of fishing with a fellow Veteran and fisherman SPDan....started fishing at 0530 at the boat launch, Huntington Harbor. Worked the main channel for two sandies, then onto the flats where I caught my PB Spottie, a hefty 16". Kicked on over to the bridge where the current was a little much for me so I kicked back to the flats. Out of the water at 1130, totals: 2 sandies, 19 spotties on Hookup Baits.

Thanks Dan..........GT

Good morning out boys.
I would have went but my mom won't let me play with kids your age.

Thanks for sharing

Very fun sounding session gentlemen. And congrats! on that PB spottie GT. It definitely looks fat like a toad!

Thanks David. She just sucked up the Hookup Bait, like a LMB does. Once I set the hook she got pissed.....GT
