China Camp 2/8. You couldn't ask for a better weather day!!!

Hey Guys,
First of all it was great to meet up with Mako1 and Fishunter. You guys are real die hards. After myself being in the yak for 6 hours and having to go "P" and my back hurting real back, I had to go in. It took me about an hour to get loosened up and get my gear loaded. You were still out there!!! My hat is off to you for being real die hards. To the point, the weather "GREAT"

Pic #1 Was foggy first thing at C.C
Pic #2, 3, 4 This is a pics of Mako1
Pic #5 Than Fishunter met up with us. It was so clear I had to get pics of Rat Rock

I know that Fishunter and Mako1 will post. But I think they were Talking about going to Oakland for Dino's in the AM

         Nice shots Rory.  I Really like the reflections on the water.  What did you use for bait?   Any bites?   

Ghoast shrimp. A couple of small hits. Had a big one roll right next to me!! Mako1 seen the thing role also, and he was shock how close it was. Can hardly wait for the 16th and 17th to go again. 

UNBELIEVABLE conditions!!

Cool report, Rory.  Great photos.   

UNBELIEVABLE conditions!!

True.  A few big dinos and it would have been perfect.  Be persistent.  Those fish are still there. 

You don't have to worry about that Chuck, like the old saying goes "I'll  be Back"

Wow, nice conditions.  Great photos Rory, thanks for the report.

yeah, it won't get better than that...
sorry nofish, Juan, Adam, & Rory... but great day to try tho...!

Yeah Rory, good to meet you too.
Adam and I pulled out right when the sun hit the western tree-tops, then put in again today for pretty much of a repeat. Primo conditions, decent tides, and no pumpers.
I'm putting my time in, about 13 hours for 2 days. It's going to have to happen. If anything, I've got it down, this sturgie thing. I've got most of the anchor issues taken care of. My 10 lb pyramid does great, just don't spear it into the muck. Instead, just rest it onto the bottom. I've done it all now except for landing and measuring a fish.
I'll post a pic or two tomorrow.
Oh, also good to meet Gabe today. Saw another yaker too.
PS-- Rory, I would be very thankful for the pyramid anchor we talked about!

Mako1, when ever we can get together, I have one with your name on it. I will be out at C.C next weekend. Drop a line and I can get the weight to you. 

Here's some pics from fri/sat sturgeon hunt.
1st one is Rory.
2nd pic is take-out conditions at CC.

Adam also knows where to eat in San Rafael!
