Nice morning on the water Dan!!

Nice work Dan I was hoping to make it out today but life just gets in the way. Great worm out there as always. Those are some fat spotties.

Ya know... the interesting thing about my Sunday session Jerdon was that I didn’t even have a clue of where I was going to fish that morning until I arrived there.
I drove past four other AO’s (between LAH and LAB) until I found the perfect parking spot as my sign to “fish this spot!”

You might say that I was trusting in HIS will this morning to put me on the correct fishy spot.

As always Sir, thank you for replying to my post.

Nice fishies my friend........Been a while since we got together. Glad to see your at your best as usual you ole fart. Good luck in the tourny..............GT

Great report Dan!

Debating in my head whether to tube A-Bay, LAH, or go down to Huntington Beach and see if I can find a Corbina that wants to eat my fly....

These are good problems to have to figure out!

I am blessed!!!

Hey Jeff,
Yep, life has a way of doing that!
I honestly thought that a few of those Spotty’s were going to be a little bit larger by the way they fought and pulled line!

Well ..... there you are!
I lost track of you, I just figured that at your age, you just up and wondered off ... you ol’ fart!   lol!

I haven’t read any reports from you in awhile so I figured that you must’ve been spending more time up in the Eastern Sierra lakes living and fishing outa a cave!  

I mostly fish on the weekends and I know that you don’t  particularly care to fish on the weekends but maybe you could break your boneheaded rule and give me a holler so that we can put in a few session before the season ends!

The conditions at LAH are changing due to the warmer water conditions and the large leaf kelp is starting to do it’s die-back.

Hi ya KrazyFish,
Thanx for taking the time to chime in!

You seem to have a bit of a quandary on your hands but we all seem to share in this dilemma! Choices!

Great report Dan. Way to get out there and slay them.

Thanx Toby!
I see that you already have all of your qualifying fish for this week turned in to the judges!
I still need to get out there or get mine for this week.

Thank you for inspiring this ol’ fart to get out there!
