Capitola - 7/6

....and the curse continues.

Score:

Frankfishing = murdered the sardines and hooked onto a seal pup  
Mooch = a big fat ZERO  

But despite our empty stringers and dealing with the cold gloomy weather, I was happy to be out on the salt (my first outing of the year) Thanks for the invite Frank Also want to thank Frank for being my personal sherpa as I had no strenght to even wheell my yak up the little sandy hill at the end of the day. I'm a little sore today but it's the good kind of sore  

After we loaded the truck, we met up with Franks wonderful family and headed over the New Brighton for a late afternoon picnic....chicken, potato wedges and kettle chips for lunch and brownies for dessert. Franks family surely knows the way to Mooch's heart  

Here's some pics...

I get to Franks house at 5AM and as we were ready to roll, Bella (Frank's pup) decided she wanted to ride shotgun...

Joel...glad you got to get out OTW and have some fun with Frank...I had similar luck on Monday and got one smallish Brown and that was it...

Darn halibut fishing!!!

Gonna give it up and go back to working the kelp for Rockies!!!!   

Wish I could've made it, and hope I can get out to fish with you next time!!
 
Sincerely,

Jim

 

pimp daddy Joel and his angels....

Frank's pride and joy!

Never a dull moment with these ladies 

Big Jim, I'm really starting to think that the fish in Capitola (Santa Cruz and New Brighton) only cater to the locals

.....I'm starting to feel like Sonny / Sailfish and his quest for his catfish

I feel the same way.

My pleasure Joel. I had a great time on the water even if you did laugh at me when the seal porpoised with my line in it's mouth. Del Valle next week? or ARW?

Joel, did you give anyone your special handshake?
Lunch on the beach sounds goooooood!

Joel, I'm happy to hear that you did get out otw with Frank From all the recent reports, it seems that the hali has been eluding many of us!  I hope that things will pick up for those who head out again.

Thank you for sharing your day with us sir. Continue to get well and keep on smiling!!

Glad to see you back on the water Mooch. Looking forward to fishing with you
again soon bro.

Joel, glad to hear your out fishing with Frank.  I went fishing with him at DV a few weeks ago.  Nice guy.  I have the same luck as you at Capitola.  Might join you guys at ARW if you go next week.

Mooch - What, no Dines?  You're the king of the sardine slayers. I thought no Dine escaped the Lottila Grilla
