Paradise - 04.18.10

 Way to get it done. Keeper hali and a keeper bass, beautiful day on the bay. Thats living large in my book. I don't here about you guys using lures much, it seems like most of you  use bait. I guess I need to switch to bait to increase my average.( Lure guy).

Very nice Mooch. Glad to see you scored on a couple of nice perfect eating sized fish.

very sad about nice sturgeon... 

Here is how to filet a halibut, I have no idea what Mooch is doing there

I still agree w/ PapaBill...

missed the cheek meat...


you got hungry again!?

I'm gonna miss your pic report... 

Love your reports dude.  Never lacking in pictures.

Thought the halibut committed hara kiri, rather than be caught alive. 

I was thinking about it out there today while I was at work.... Off for 10 days and as soon as I go back to work the ocean and the bay flatten out.....typical. Glad you guys made good use of a perfect day out there. I'm sure the folks on the pier let that guy have it rightfully so. Was anyone able to make any bait? I couldn't scratch up a thing on Friday. Sounds like a regular plastic armada OTW!! Do ya think we piss off the PBers being out there?

Thanks for the report & congrats on the catches Mooch! 

Was anyone able to make any bait?

nah, all bait used were bought.

Congrat on the combo catches!  Thanks for the report and pictures Mooch.

Flurry of action in the morning, then nothing all afternoon.  I missed two bites and had another shiner bit in half.   

I will get a few pics up later.

WTG Guys
I see Allen is still using his bimini top

Great to be out on the bay with my real_family again. Even better that Mooch came up and hit the target, right in front of me. Good to witness other hits and action, for it is very inspiring
I felt like a virgin out there. I even got a 'bit queasy a few times(lack of time OTW in'10) CarrierPig on flew over the house late Sat afternoon as I was doing yard labor. Next thing I know, I'm going to Paradise!!
Met up at the baithouse, got my lucky3 and we were at the pier by 730. I used a 3-way swivel and got one good grab,run&putout. The 3 seconds of fight i got, sure made me excited.
Water was dirty all day. hit the water at bottom low tide and it seemed most action was during the tail-end of the bottom tide(as the current almost stopped). The northern point current is kinda strange. Even as the flow was going out, there were eddys that would push you northward. I got dizzy trying to figure it out.

Mooch in action

2 more OTW money shots

Rite on Mooch! . WTG get um'. Looked like you guys picked a great day to soak some sacrificial shiners. Cant wait to get there. Can't wait for But' Hunt give back 2011. Adam its hard to believe that you got sick out there. all that time you've spent on the big blue. BTW Allan's sun Protection is probably the colloest thing since A/C. WTG GUYS!
