uneventful day at Paradise sun 4-25

i got there about 815 only frozen bait, went south and met up with gabe, and two other yakers sorry bad with names, drift a little hooked up and it was a shark, a couple of crabs, and a huge take down that cut the line hali maybe, and it was warm today, and a lot of power boats out, and then patrick showed i ran out of bait and called it a day. james

Doesn't sound uneventful to me. Bummer about the cut line.

one of the bay fish that can cut line quickly is the 7 gill shark.

later later half of the after noon was uneventful and i was thinking seven gill also.

I'll be joining you there pretty soon James. Sorry to hear no hookup for you
but you'll get one soon enough.

Probably wouldn't help with the shark but don't be shy with the halibut leaders. Halibut are not line shy and there is nothing wrong with a 30# plus mono leader.

At least you had some action with the shark and mystery fish etc. Thanks for the report!

i tied them out of 30# next ones will be 50#, i was only using a stripper rod with 16# test so it was fun on the first one.

Damn that's burly to chew through 30#! Fifty sounds like a good bet. Love to see whats chewing up your leaders!

Sorry no Hali for you this time.  Hali fishing should be good starting next month!  Thanks for the report James.

Sorry I couldn't join you guys but decided to hit the Montezuma slough instead once I heard about all the boats that were going to be out there. No love in the sloughs either just got in about 10 miles of paddling and a lot of sun.

good meeting up with you james, i pulled into LL at 645ish with gabe(el dorado) hot on my heels, we each grabbed shiners and headed for paradise, pulled in at 7 and proceeded to get rigged up, jonesz pulled in a few minutes behind us, launched from the ramp from hell with no incidents and headed towards the point, with in a few minutes i had a little tap tap tap and set to nothing, pulled up to find half a shiner, damn here we go again, this happened a few more times then gabe starts giving me shit about feeding my pet halibut and getting it all fattened up for him, alas no love for me again, had all shiners destroyed by something again, just cant figure out the bite or hook set yet, but learning, jonesz said he saw one halibut caught from the pier when he was paddling out and one from a PB and that was it for the day, it was a gorgeous, warm windless day only thing that could have been better was not so many big boats, or boats that would have shared the bbq they were cooking, sorry didnt take many pics today, cameron

At least you missed the tsunami that blew though on weds!   any action is better than NONE!   
thanks for the report!      iHATEthatPLACE!! 

Cam~you're gonna end up hooking Gabes beast'but twin from last year(see his pic&fish at the foot of the pier)
You are sooooo overdue!!

Sorry for the late  post guys.It was  gorgeous ou there good hanging out with  kind of  people .Cameron and  Iwere giving  it our  best early on,lots of little bait balls going by.Then storm scrmbler came and we  all had a good time laughing it off.I missed  a bunch of little  bites but stuck a28 in  sand shark,as did  James.Cameron was  having  a shouting  match with his pet  Hali and I told  him when he catches him  hell be a  pound heavier  sorry Cameron couldnt help myself,Gabe

Except for the lack of pull downs, that was one of the nicest days I've had out there, in regards to wind. i can't remember the last time I was out there not fighting the winds. It all seemed like it had the potential for an epic day. Good tide, flat bay, warm spell....Oh well! It was nice seeing some of the boyz OTW. When I saw one caught on the pier in the beginning I thought we were in for a productive day. Turned out to be only one fo two I saw landed all day. The PB armada showed up and a bunch of cruisers and sailboats were anchoring right through the drift, started becoming an obstical course. The tide started to become too much to fight in the afternoon, so I packed it in. Always good to get out on the water tho...

Thanks for the report fellas.

Already FIENDIN to get back down there.
