Solo Session At Newport Harbor This Morning.
This was my 3rd Float Tube session for the 2019 Season.
I always like to take a few minutes before each session to calm my thoughts and to remember to give thanks, for being so BLESSED for having such good health and for this opportunity of being here today ... enjoying the water, all of it's abundance and to take-in the breath taking sunrise of each morning's session .... amen!

Summary Of Session: There were plenty of fish present.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Nothing but short bites, pulls and tugs for the first 2-hrs 20-minutes. I threw, jerked, popped and dragged HUB's, Yamamoto hollow Ika tubes, 3/16 Chartreuse Hammer heads w/ 3" Big Hammers (Sexy Shad & Margarita), D/S w/ 4" Gulp Watermelon Minnow for absolutely NADA!
I was already putting together in my head a ... "How I Got Skunked At NPH" report when by my surprise the bite just suddenly turned on! YAHOO!!
At 08:20 hrs my "skunk buster" was on board!
The bite remained strong until about 10:45 hrs when it just shut-off just as fast and sudden as it had began!
It was a beautiful day and the draining tide was more like a strong out going (flowing) river. I got to fish some new real-estate, which I enjoyed a lot because it presents a new and unknown challenge for me to step up to! lol
Tackle Used: 1/4oz Sardine Green/Silver, White Shad and the 3/8oz Mint colored HUB's, Yamamoto hollow Ika tubes, 3/16 Chartreuse Hammer heads w/ 3" Big Hammer (Sexy Shad & Margarita), D/S w/ 4" Gulp Watermelon Minnow.
