Cap mouth on the bars September 24th
« 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.

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...
