LegaSea Rocks Report & personal best.

Had the last week off and the plan was to fish everyday while my wife worked and my daughter was in her second week of day care. Nope! 7 month old catches double ear infection, passes it to parents...and I heal with enough time to scratch out 1 1/2 days. Aaaaaanyhow...

Was hoping for some good conditions with a west wind but found dirty water and almost no drift. Spent too much time deep with only a handful of keepers to show for it. Decided to move a bit inshore and found the bottom paved with fish that we bucktailed on trout rod spinning gear. Couple more keepers....and then BLAM! My rod doubles over and stays there. Slide her into a masterful net job by Boston Pete. Quick weight, photo and release. Took a good minute or two to revive her, but man...one tail whoosh and she was gone!

My personal best 11.5# to go with a half dozen boxers and some 3# Sea Bass.

WTG Bob !! Couldn't have happened to a more deserving angler. HAving Pete there to net the brute is icing on the cake. Great job with the release :)

Thanks for the congrats fellas. Totally worth the laryngitis I'm sick with now.

Great guy I used to know would always say "Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while!".

How true...

Better to be lucky than good! :D

Bob,

wow nice fish, commendable that you released it, congrats.

Did you find clean water closer inshore ?

I was out yesterday, and when I got out there AND saw the conditions my stomach sank, had only a couple of shorts, and some hits that they would not come back for it.
