Fun Day at Stillwater South 5-8

Ready to launch at 6:30 AM with fishing buddy Bob C. to beautful condtions.  Met Bloodbath at the launch site and wished each other good luck for the day.  We first tried the area towards the right where I've done very well through the years but not today.  Very little kelp. We found good meter marks and I dropped a butterfly jig and got one rocky, worked the area for a while but they had lockjaw.  Paddled towards Carmel for nothing.  We worked inside the cove and I got 1 keeper Ling and 8 rockies.  What worked; 15 lb flourocarbon and small 3 inch bass grubs.
Quite a few spearfishermen that day that made the fish skittish.  I am tired of feet getting wet and cold so I tried for the first time Sealskinz waterproof socks. They work and worth the money.

Nice stringer!!!!!

Glad you got out to that awesome spot and had a fun day!

Thank you for sharing!!

Sincerely,

Jim

You had the same fun that I had as we were only a few miles apart, well not that few from Lovers Point.
Glad you had your fill as well.

Thanks for the report.

Nice haul FA!

as long as the fish are biting I don't feel cold, hot, nausea, hungry, or sleepy.  It's when the action is slow that I feel all of the above.  glad the sealskin socks worked for you

thx for the report and pics.  I tried the Sealskinz and they didn't work for me... glad it worked for you.
I'm thinking about getting Kokatat Nomad paddling boots or launch socks instead.
