[size 2][/size][size 2][/size]10/30 Halloween Eve 33 Hole Report
Arrived at the rocky point lot about 7pm. Started taking the main trail down the hill but soon got disoriented in the pitch black night. Decided to settle on a unfamiliar point with a steep shoreline. Baited one rod with a crawler on the bottom & started tossin around some new glow n dark bucktail jigs with the other. Couldn't believe it but I actually heard what sounded like boils (tons of baitfish popping the surface) taking place out in open deeper water. About every half hour or so not lasting very long 2mins at most. The sound kept me motivated kept tossin the bucktail jig practically burnt my arm out then a dink striper (8-10in) decides to play lil sucka fought hard felt way bigger. Was tired so I just baited up sat back and enjoyed my drink. The cat bite was slow but landed 6 all were under a foot some thicker than others. Decided to pack it up at midnight slow walk up the hill. The temp was nice n cool the whole night never got chili or windy the yote howls echoed in the canyons all night. There was a few bankies set up in the main cove other than that didn't see a single boat in the bay. Had plans for a big 10lb cat but maybe next time. Comments or questions welcome. (NOTE camera phone pics suck at night)
