New Brighton 8/3

Launched @ 8:30 am this morning and got into a huge ball of Sardines straight out in 22ft of water. Hook a nice size mackerel too and dropped him down while I finished making bait. Not 5 minutes later I get something big on. Thought it might be a striper at first. One big run and a little slay ride I gained some line and saw I had a nice size thresher shark. He made a few more runs and ended up snapping my leader. Damn!
I decided to work the kelp line with my dine's out towards sponge bob. Nothing on way out. On way back in I C&R a underling. Decided to keep working the kelp and scored another ling 26", a fat green grass cod and a pig of a Brown RF 19". Not a bad day for these parts. Still looking for a nice Butt.

That's a nice catch.  I know what you mean about the Thresher's I've had one hit my Salmon mooching rig only to bite off the leader at boat-side.

....dooood, I'm still looking for my first legal fish in that godforsaken area But reports like this is giving me hope  Nice catch!

All 3 of those are some nice looking fish, congrats on getting to spend the day on the salt.

Fish closer to shore. There is always lots of nice butts sunbathing at New Brighton.

Sounds like fun. Too bad that shark broke you off bot it makes for a good fish story

Nice story to go along with the pic.......quite a variety in that area. Thanks for clicking 

Nice catch.  Glad to see you caught some fish after I went in.  I was in the Camo Trident 13.  The day was slow for me with only 2 small rock fish.
Hope to see you out there again.
