Thanks to Adam for setting this GT up, and BIG thanks to Craig for the shiners.

My buddy Cal and I started off fishing the cove / point South of the pier. I was marking tons of baitfish and some really big fish in there but nothing wanted to bite. After that we both made the trip North to the pilings. Poked around near the pilings for a bit then did the whole west to east wind drift between 10 feet and 23 feet. On my way back from my first drift I picked up my first hali in 16ft of water. It wasn't too big so I called Adam over for a Hawg Trough assist. I measured it out to 24" so I bludgeoned it and continued to paddle back to the pilings. Did a few more drifts with some of the fellas and on one drift Chuck said his bait was getting nervous. Sure enough it got hammered and Chuck was on! I paddled over and started poppin' off OTW shots of the battle. I didn't get any pictures of the fish because right when I was taking the last pic my pole went bendo! So with my non-waterproof camera danglin' from my mouth I went to work. This 'but actually towed me around a bit so I thought it was gonna be a gangster but, surprisingly, it was just a scrappy 26"er. Still tastes good, so I kept that one also. Did a few more drifts for nada then brought up the rear, with JTF and I being the last two to land.

Had a great time and once again pigged out at a spectacular NCKA feast.

The last pic is how the bigger hali ended up. Pan fried with rice pilaf and steamed vegetables. So good.
