Congrats on number "nine".
You are on a tear right now, still abusing your retirement, but making it enjoyable for us to see.

There's one thing's for sure ..... I won't be catching that ol' [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] from the seat of my couch! Ha ha ha! Won't happen!

Anyways, I'm going to be out of commission here pretty soon.
So, enjoy my reports while can! Thumbs Up

Nine legals is a great number. I have never caught nine legals in a year of fishing Newport Harbor.

Yeah! Nine legals in 17 days for January.
Unheard of by my standards. Thumbs Up

Lol Thanx Brotha,

Honestly ... my regular fishing area had stopped giving up fish so I relocated my recon-fishing time and efforts to learning more about the Cabrillo Beach area.

I was fishing around when I finally came upon a few of them (Hali's) in the eel grass! I just didn't know that there'd be THAT many of em' in there ... all stacked-up!!

I was also REALLY hoping to see a lot more of my fishing bud's getting-in on the "two weeks of Winter Hali bite" that I kept posting-up/sharing with everyone. Some people really got pissed at me but I still felt compelled to share with friends.

Ken, I was SKUNKED there today! NOT EVEN A BUMP! ... so I no longer deserve the honor of such a distinguished title Sir, ... lol

Thanx for chimin'-in! Thumbs Up
