MBK - Aug 5

Hey gang,

Launched off MBK at 9am this morning (did not participate in the Derby).

Bite was HOT today - caught over 30 fish in 3.5 hours of fishing, at least half on the fly rod (5wt, sinking line). Two really nice lings (blue ling on the fly that I almost lost in the kelp twice); big ling went 10 pounds easily. Lots of nice Olives, and assorted rockfish everywhere. Calm seas and light winds - fabulous day on the water. Can't complain!

A serious saltwater flyfisherman.  Thats awesome. My dad would really appreciate that.  Congrats!

Epic fishing with a fly rod! Nice job!

nice catches,im still waiting for a day like that.

Congrats, thats a great day of fishing.  Is your thumb raw, bit up and bloodied?

Saw you unloading, glad you did well! Thanks for your report..

That blue ling is beautiful.   Nice job on the fly rod.

Awesome! Those lings must have felt like monsters on your 5wt.  How deep do you think your line is getting? Are you just casting and striping in line or are you casting and back paddling?
Thanks for the pictures and report.

looks like a great way to fish.  We have two guys here flyaker and pindo124 who flyfish for rockies. 

Hi Yelloboy:

    Your a real Sportmans using such light and costly Tackle.
 I would never go out and fish the Pacific with less than 20 Lb Test.
                                                                                           Regards

WTG on your awesome day bro. Thanks for the report and pictures.
