Good to see you guys down in my neck of the woods yesterday - Unexpected company - as I rarely see other yaks fishing out out there - so to see six plus - i thought it was an invasion
Hope that you guys got some fish - because today - Sunday - it was just awful
Went out in the powerboat looking for albies - - saw none - so i fished the same areas as yesterday for bass - and it was deader than a door nail
Let me know the next time you are planning to be down this way - very easy for me to do early intell

rob - you must have went south to the islands. too bad you didn't go north. the albies and bass were all up the river. From 5:30 - 9:00 was non-stop bass and albies.

We were so close to albies. We figured we would see action at the mouth. Wished we could have pushed up river. Oh well...get em next time.
We looked for birds but saw nothing. Waiting till dusk. Messed around in the slops around comptom for nice size blues and some bass. Nice structure there but looking for the albies.

Mr Rabiner...you sir have balls....we were watching you back paddling while tight to a fish with those rollers breaking behind you. I thought you were in trouble with all that white water and breakers. And then to see Slappy paddle over to help you out of you situation only to see him paddle in just as tight to get a
sluggo in there...well that made my day. I caught a nice fish from the rocks but cut my foot up on the barnacles--

Swanny - I was out there from 10 AM until beaching at about 430 ish
I think that if i stayed out any longer my Wife would have had the CG doing a SAR for me
She can't figure out how i can spend 6 hrs paddling around in the yak.
Any time that you want company - please just drop me a line -
the guys at the SWE know how to get me - or drop me an E mail
Bob

And I had been fishing that area all day - so I was sort of in the zone -
Although at one point I thought to myself that this was one of those CaddyShack moments -
where you ask yourself if you should stop because of the surf - and you reply - " nah - the big swell / surf hasn't even started yet"
( Plus I knew that there were some nice fish in that break )

Robert set the bar high for derring do. He got in much closer than I was comfortable with! He put me into a few fish there, but like Jeff said, we were hoping for albies.
The pic below was taken in the calmest safest spot that Robert showed me. I didn't want to take the camera out of the dry box in the other spots!

The fishing was a smorgasboard down there. I wanted an albie, instead it was bass, blues, scup, black bass, and fluke.
I was the black sea bass king, they loved me....

Nice shot slappy. But that surf is tame compared to what you guys were into when we saw you.

Pics sent.
I broke a rod paddling down a wave! The water caught the tip of my rod and the wave pushed me so hard the top 2 ft snapped off. Expensive trip!
I realized that it was only going to get bigger as the tide got going and I had a 2 hour drive ahead of me so I bailed after that.
We should have gotten some pics of the gang of yakkers.
That was a fun trip. You guys missed out on an epic scup bite. We pulled off it too soon in the morning looking for other fish. Something I will always regret.
