oakland airport wed 2-24-10

So me and insaneduane and islandyak hit the water at 615 am to find some big swells as big as 4 feet, paddeling my newish extreem, I knew I was taking on water. I call it fat ass hatch hell 
but it did not last long and turned out to be a nice day Insane got a 24in stripper and islandyak got a sturgeon
just under 46in, I tell you it was batray city out there today.

So today is the start of the big tides so get out there and get em   Thanks for the fish hommie

Dave is that Duanes new pic on your avatar? Thanks for the report.Great tides on Saturday, Fridays even better.

i,m bad I know let this be a lesson to you don't put a smelt in my beer much less give
me your NCKA password.

Smelt beer revenge at last!!! 

revenge is sweet 

Love the bat ray's sleight ride    Thanks for the report Dave.

Duane , the resemblance is amazing. Damn!

Thanks for the report Dave. I would take catching bat rays anytime than fishing for eight hours for nothing.

Duane and Dave, I want to thank you guys for the Hookup yesterday. I had a blast landing that sturgeon from the kayak and thanks to Duane for some tips that he shouted out on the radio. I finally put that baby on my lap and what a feeling. Released him to grow 2 more inches for the next time. Duane, you were right about Dave's avatar, I guess that's what happened when you mess around with beer and smelt, those 2 ingredients don't mix well.  I am not a sturgeon virgin anymore, I pop  that cherry yesterday. Once again thanks so much for a great day on the water. Dave, you are da man.

   followed by    and then alittle 
WTHook IslandYak up! 

Smelt beer revenge at last!!!

Dave,

Just make sure you remove the "plastic thingy" off the lure the next time you plan on catching a big fish in Bean Hollow
