Work and wife and young daughters prevent me from doing a lot of overnight/camping trips, but luckily I live pretty much right in the middle of the Monterey Bay area, and so can do day trips to areas where I can harvest a wide variety of yummy fish.
Here is a quick vid of some of my favorite examples of fish taken on day trips from my house here in Watsonville over the past 3 years.
Feel very fortunate to be able to target these fish and still be able to make it home at night for dinner with my family. :smt001

Fatties! Hope the knee gets better in time for the few flat days we will have this year. Don't despair, your knee will return to 100%. :smt006

Thanks buddy!! I hope so too...going on 3 weeks of pain and immobility now...seeing orthopedic specialist on 11/21.
Trying to stay positive and hopeful...
Cursing myself for taking zero abs and not shooting a greenling earlier this year...will most likely be my worst DOTY showing in 5 years...
