Cabrillo (reprise) 12-10-2011

Oops, I did it again.   Cabrillo's so close!  I'm goofin' off so I sllept late, got OTW at 2:00 and fished until dark.  Today was very different from yesterday -- lots more action.  I caught four short halibut and one lizard fish - all released, of course. The first of the four halibut was probably worth measuring but I didn't.

I shot pictures but tried not to lift them out of the water (except the lizard).   There was immediate action at the boat ramp, where I caught two of the four little halibuts.  All were on the white scampi, two were on the scampi alone, two were on the scampi with squid strips.  I went pretty far afield but two of the fish came right at the ramp, one as I started and one as I finished.  I probably should have stayed near the ramp all day.

The breeze was blowing by 2:00 and never abated.  It was a windy slog back in but that's when I'm glad I have the pedals.  There was a small pod of dolphin on the inside working bait.  (I think three animals.)  I tried to get pix but they did not turn out. 

You know what short fish look like -- but here's the slide show anyway   .
