La Jolla pics...for those stuck at a desk
 

0630 launch. Wind offshore.
0700 began epic battle with mackerel on a 5' shimano creek rod with 6# test wound to a spinning reel. After 7 epic fights, my back was shot and the graphite on the rod was smoking! I filled the bait tank (Lowes 5 gal. bucket) and began trolling with a pair of nose pierced macks. Met a couple cool BWE'ers (Patrick and John). They dragged me out into the deep water for some YT seeking. I used two great fish finders (Patrick's and John's) to try and locate some table fair for the doubters back home. No such luck as the time ran out and I had to push for the shore (hey the drive back to Temecula sucks after 3!). Back on the beach at 12:30 to wrap up a successful albeit fishless day.

Una mas...

Damn. Wish I was there. Looks like a lake! Where is the winter swell? Don't work behind a desk but I have been out of the game waiting on a new pair of waders after destroying them with my gaff. They finally got here and someone totaled my parked truck so yeah no fishing for a while... Just remember every time you get skunked it is a lot better than some of the alternatives!

Lake like conditions. Really nice. You'll get em' next time.

Thanks for thinking of us and, yes, that view beats mine for sure!

Damn you! I got a beach pic on my desktop wishing I was there.
