Fishing was very very slow all night despite the seemingly great fishing conditions. I moved up and down the coast trying spot after spot looking for a hungry fish or two, but didn't have any luck landing anything most of the night. I had three lost hook ups, one of them was a big ole cabazon that got off about 10' from shore (I could tell by how it bit and came in)...grrr. The last lost hook up came at the farthest North spot I had tried all night, so right before leaving, thinking I had found where they had been hiding, I made one final cast into the same general area and...what do ya know, a few minutes later I was reeling in my first and only fish for the night, a nice 11" or so grass rockfish, which was promptly released to get bigger after a pic or two. Ahh, nice to catch a fish on the last cast although I always wish it was the first cast because that usually bodes well for fishing the rest of the trip; but sometimes you just gotta take what ya can get and be happy with it :). Headed home without a skunk on my back at around 1:00 AM. Slow night of fishing, but still better than sitting at home wasting time on something less fulfilling.
Oh and the last pic is a motion shot of one of the nice boo boo's I got from falling +/- 4' while moving around on wet, sandy rocks in the dark while wearing vans which were also wet and sandy and really do not have the best grip to begin with since they are a bit dated, lol. Time to invest in some better fishing shoes :).
