Chasin coastal steel

Well I hit the Gualala and Garcia for 2 1/2 days. The fishing was great, catching, not so great. I eneded up landing one and loosing one. Hit it hard two of the days. The one I did land had shoulders like a linebacker! Fought like one too. Don't know how I managed to land that one. He had me in and out of the trees several times. Heard of a few fish here and there, but no great numbers by any means. Water was in perfect shape though. Friday, on the way up the ocean was flaaaaat! I was surprized to see it so nice after the pouding the coast has taken lately... Two days prior, up to 20'+ swells. Hope someone took advantage of it.

Those two rivers are always awesome, even if you dont catch anything.  I also enjoy Alder Creek.  Were you throwin roe?

I threw everything I had at em, including bait.
