Ft. Ross Veterans Day

A little bit of a Ho Hum day.  Little wind chops but manageable.
I fished with my buddies and had company with Naoaki, kayakjack, Inseine, NorthernBoy and betterhalf.  Pulled in 5 good size blacks and I believe my buddies pulled some gophers and a red.  We left at 11 to try our hand at dungees at doran.  I think Naoaki and company found the spots where the reds are as we were leaving.  camera is acting Up so excuse the shots.

Nice report, 
The water looks beautiful as do the Crabs.
Wish i could have been there for the crab feast.
Thanks for the pic's,
Eric

I don't have any!

My excuse; the fishing was crap.

One of those days for me yesterday. I had to use backup gear after snapping my jigging rod last week. First fish on............poink...........There's a crack in the ceramic guide at the rod tip.  . No problem, I'll use the backup backup.  Second fish; reel seizes.  . I can't unscrew the reel from backup rod one to put onto backup rod two. So it's the long paddle back in and walk up the hill for the emergency spinning gear. I have never fished for rockfish with an 8'6" ft steelhead rod and spinning reel. I won't do it again either, what a pain in the arse. 

I caught lots of fish, mostly small blacks and blues. Nothing of size. I did catch a red...... but it was ~ 8 inches. I set the crab gear out deeper this time and over sand. I caught loads and loads of dungies but they were all babies.

It was cold, and the wind didn't let up until ~2pm.

Still beats a day at work tho'!

(can someone explain to this alien what doubleday means?)

two adventures in ONE DAY= a DoubleDay!   some can't even pull-off ONE! 

two adventures in ONE DAY= a DoubleDay!

It's just another freakishly nutty musing from the mind of Abking!   

With this serious adrenaline addiction, I'm now thinking of how to pull off a TripleDay...

Great job Allan..

    Those crabs look yummy. I really need a salt water fix soon!

Somehow that has been my MO.  Fish early enough and leave by 12 to get at least an hour at doran.  lot of work double loading and unloading of the yak but the tummy likes it at the end of the day.
I don't know how Naoaki does it but he mentioned catching stripers in  the delta as well.  the guy puts in a lot of kayak mileage...

Good to see people getting out, I'm lucky to have enough energy for one outting a day, 

Thanks for the report and pictures Allan. Sorry about your rod jig Phil. I
hope you get it fixed soon for maybe one more rock fish outing before
the season closes.

Yes the fishing was pretty slow at the fort.  Not really sure why.  Water was not too cold.  I did manage 1 red at 21.5 inches, a upgrade on the AOTY, but I still dropped a position.
