Title: Cap mouth on the bars September 24th
Post by: calfisher on September 24, 2004, 05:08:53 PM

Fished the low tide to the turn today.  No cohos.  A few flounders though.  And of course lots of seals.

Highlight of the morning was watching a guy by himself in a Whaler reel up second rod, pickup fish on first rod, fight spring with 60 lb seal in tow and magically land a nice high teens - low 20 spring.

Looked like the seal might win for a little while there.

hit the mouth for two hours today, between 10 and noon,only one other fellow there on shore , didnt see any fish jumpin, didnt see much action from the 30  or so boats out there, so i focused on flounder, took home six nice sized ones for dinner tonight, I kinda got the fishing fix in, would of been nice to take home something silver though.

Hi Lucky ... can you please tell me how you catch those flounders (bait, technique, location)?  I'm looking for something for my children to catch that is a little more "significant" than shiners.  You can PM me if you like.  THANKS!

The guy beside me Friday simply used a hook with seaworms he found under almost every rock there.  Cast out wait for the worms to start dancin'.  Had 4 or 5 in 15 minutes.  The thing that took the most time was finding the worms.

Fished with my kids at the middle rock wall from 5pm to 8pm.  All we caught were 3 tiny flounders and 1 bullhead   :-\   We were using prawn.  I think it's the tide thing!  I promised my wife flounders for dinner.  We ended up eating at Hon's Wonton in Chinatown  ;D

A positive thing was that we stopped a family from keeping undersized crabs  >:(  They were casting crab snares from the rock.

I was in Hons this afternoon and they don't have flounders on the menu  ;D

Fishing crab snares are illegal ! >:(

Well we tried again today near the cap mouth from 1 to 3:30pm, when the tide started to come in.  NADA.  It's not the tide.  It's me  :-\

I was trolling out in front of the cap with dad today, decided to use herring instead of 'chovies. Had two solid hits but produced nothing, hell of a lot of boats out.

Would like to say it was a good day...

I accept defeat for yet another year from the ocean, time to retreat to THE RIVERS...
