pebble beach-stillwater S. Sunday 11/16

Going to launch @ sunrise. Company welcome. ch 69. Kimo

I was already loaded, didn't know where I was going. I'll join you, but I can't say it'll be at sunrise, about 7, probably.  Might be a some west swell.

we went to stillwater today (sat). The water was great and the fish were spotty but biting.

i had good luck with a 4oz. leadhead and green /yellow body with a shrimp fly tied on about 10 in above. of course we were using squid, caught a nice verm at the end of the second set of kelp beds just as you turn the corner north as soon as you open water. Kelp was cooperating and with the slight swell and no wind you could fish right in the beds and not one tangle. and the fishfinder didn't work as good as the eyes. It was so clear you could see 40 ft deep or more and see the fish swimming around in the kelp.

caught some blues and gophers on shrimp fly setup and the metal and bars seemed to get fish too. early on i was using 8 oz weight, but it was so calm i swithed to 4 oz by mid morning.

I saw some others getting more lings than they could keep so try some bottom rigs too.

good luck put there, hope you have as good of a day as we had.
