4/21/Wed Paradise Park Tsunami

Thats hardcore when that pier is empty. Hats off to ya!

Didn't I warn you guys about the wind?    You guys made the right decision not to go out on the yaks.  Thanks for the report and pictures Jonathan.

Yup you sure did but after getting me on a halibut hookup last week I just couldn't resist trying for one more.

When landing fish from a pier i find the direct approach to be the best approach. Here is a pic of a 45 3/4 sturg I jumped off the rail at Eckley Pier to wrasle into a crab net. Next time strip down and dive in with a rope in your teeth.

HA! THAT is gangster.

Ouch. Dove into funky bay waters WITH A DIAMONDBACK! and fish was 1/4" shy of the slot. That is hardcore. Too bad it wasn't a keeper. My hat's off to you man. jim

I had caught a "62 the week before at that spot so I had my alloted mercury allowance for the year already. I tried to grab by the tail initally...big mistake! I grabbed his gills and tossed him in the pot. He was foul hooked anyways. The second hook was dangling from his side and he was flopping alongside the hoop. The were a bunch of Mexicans trying to talk me out of it the whole time. "Don't do it maan, you crazy ese!" I handed off my rod and BANZAI!!!!
 

you crazy eses'!!!    i saw the bay that day. It did not look like fishable waters.
Good call to stay dry(kinda)
