Just watching the water temps, hoping to get the yak out next few days.

No boat anymore, that got moved on to buy an investment property, but once things settle hopefully I can buy ...

Since it seems quiet around here, I thought I’d upload one. Went for a quick LB fish yesterday. The plan was to go to a popular squid beach to get a feed and hopefully some fresh bait, and the go for some big LB whiting at a not so popular spot. At around 1pm Sunday the 9th, right on slack tide I go...
