thanks for the comments guys.. oh, this also is my first post. Ok, for the details: i was working the kelp bed north of Capitola piper for a few hrs with no love than move south by these big ass houses on the beach.. on the way there went over a crazy bait ball, shit was boiling.. seal were jacking my bait, lost 2 rigs.. (i love seal but that day they were pissing me off) i found one hook in my tackle box, hook that up and move away from the bait ball.. got to the last house n thats where my fish was chilling... it was a quarter inch off 23.. i know it was a beast :smt005..
anyway sat.. im going to look for its big brother with calbear n his friend. so if anyone want to join us..plzz

 :laughing6: Hell yeah, Patt! I know how bad you wanted that flattie, that's freakin awesome! You deserved it my friend. Thanks for the immediate OTW report, returning the favor. You can give me those reports anytime! Made my work day go by faster :smt003  Investing your limited amount of time OTW and look at the results. Score! I wish I could have been out there with you. We'll get a chance to tag team Capitola soon and when we do the flatties better beware. I'll see you tomorrow morning for some PG action, hopefully some feisty lings. It's on and crackin
