I launched for a second time this morning at LAH, Sunday 9-30-2018 for a longer 2nd session.
I did a 2nd solo session today as the tide continued to rolled-in to LAH ... flooding the Harbor with much needed cooler water, oxygen and nutriments.
Today I launched for a 2nd time at 0830 hrs and I fished until 1130 hrs.
I like to start each of my session by taking a moment to calm my thoughts and to consciously remind myself of just how truly BLESSED I am to be here today!

Session Duration: 0830 hrs until 1130 hrs (3 hrs).
Moon Phase: Waxing Gibbous
Sun Rise: 0646 hrs, Sun Set: 1837 hrs. We seem to be loosing an average of 3-5 minutes of light each and every day!

Surf: 5-7 ft, Swell: 5.5 ft, Sec's Between Sets: 14
Large Leaf Kelp Beds: quite a few healthy large strands starting to re-grow after the warm water caused them to die-off ... it looks very promising that we'll have some healthy kelp beds before the winter sets in and the kelp beds go dormant.
Tidal Conditions: 0830 hrs 2.8 ft, 0930 hrs 3.4 ft, 1030 hrs 4.1 ft, 1130 hrs 4.7 ft, 1312 hrs HT 5.1 ft ... etc.

Note: I landed my skunk buster Spotty at 0845 hrs and the bite remained solid until 1030 hrs ... after 1030 hrs I was able to land 2 more fish in-which the very last fish was landed at my launch site just before I got out of the water.
Ha ha ha!! Too Funny!!!
Bait used: 3/8 oz Sardine Green Silver, 1/4 oz Sardine Green Silver and 1/4 oz Mint colored HUB's with Bio-Edge scent along with Hot Sauce and a Drop/Shot rig using the Gulp 4" Sardine minnow and a 3/4 oz finesse weight approx 12" below the hook and I secured the 1/0 Owner mosquito hook using a Palomar knot.
Equipment used:
Float Tube used: Cumberland FT w/ a DIY rod rack and hard-top lap tray
Fins used: Force Fins
Fish Finder used: Deeper Pro+
Selected rods: my B"n"M SharpShooter's, rated 4#-8#, 6', 1-pc.
Note: I didn't go home to switch out my rods for my heavier LAH rods.
I was just praying to NOT get bit by my once-in-a-life-time PB fish!
Phew!! ... It didn't happen! 
My (3) selected reels: (2) two of my Shimano Stradic Ci4 2500 reels and (1) one Diawa Balistic 2500 reel, all spooled with Diawa Samurai #30 braid (8 carrier) line w/ a 5 ft long 12 lb Seaguar InvizX Fluorocarbon leader while using the RP knot to connect (tie) the fluorocarbon and braid together and the Improved Cinch knot for tying-on the bait.
SP Dan's Fish Count: 12 fish total, 3 species and 2 legal Bass while fishing on "SS Stitch":
(5) Spotty's, the best was a 14"
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
(5) Sandy's, the best was a 18 1/2".
Note: He was actually closer to 19" but I had it positioned too far forward on the board. Oh well!
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
(2) YFC's best 8 1/2"
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
PS: ... I only post one of each species unless there are multi legals, PB's (Personal Best's) or NS (New Species).
PSS ... I am a sportsman dedicated to being a 100% CPR (catch, photograph and release) angler.
PSSS ... I only show photo's of the fish and not of myself because it's really all about the fish?!
"The Tail Of Two Harbors"! Well ... there was still plenty of time left in the morning for me to fish LAH and to redeem myself from my earlier LAB session ... and so I did!
Thank you one-and-all for taking the time to either view and or to reply to my posting!
