With all the reports of halibut I could not stand it so I headed out from my place about 5, right after work.  I considered launching at Monterey Beach Hotel as the waves were very small but since I had posted MBK, I headed over and snagged the last parking spot before the outrigger guys and gals took over.

I hit the water by 6 and immediately dropped a glow scampy while I rigged a squid on the other rod.  I drifted and dragged squid from MBK to the metal building on the dunes from 35 in to 6 feet and less.  Then out to the orange can and back to the beach and then back to MBK.  I saw one guy land a small halibut about 50 yards away from me early on say by 6:30.  He was in no more than 6 feet of water.  I had no bites but was not thirsty and thoroughly enjoyed myself.

While I was at the futhest point, Ben hailed me on the VHF.  It was great to see you when I landed and thanks for the assist on the haul up to the car.  I stuck it out till sunset and got a little chilled packing things up.

The worst part of fishing late is getting things put away when you get home.  Just as well I did not catch any fish, not really.  I will need to rinse gear tomorrow.  Here are the pics.

You definitely will not catch it if you do not go.

Being an honorable sportsman is way more important than what you catch.

Way to go on getting out. Looks like a beautiful, peaceful, way to end a day.
