Fri (6/1) Slow day at Dana Pt.
 

Overcast skies, choppy seas, water temp 68*, and 4 1/2 hours without a bite. Very slow, indeed. But....

It's funny - a friend of mine says the difference between a slow day on the water and a great day otw is 1 big fish. 1
Totally.

I was going to comment on your "serious situation" face expression. :D
When it happens to me, I usually can't get the smile off of my face. :D

I like slooooooooooooooooow days

if thats your happy look. I have to see your face when your excited.:eek:

Nice catch!! :cheers1:

That IS his happy face!

You should have seen it after his "swing and a miss."

Good job Wayne! I was almost as excited as you were (almost)...

:luxhello::luxhello::luxhello:

great job Wayne

How did u set up your rig for that bad boy?

Very nice flat-kind!:luxhello:

Nice job Wayne, great fish! That thing was fat!

It was nice meeting you, I was the guy on the PA you met at the harbor entrance. Hopefully I'll be able to get out and fish with you sometime soon.

WOW WOW WOW!!!

what else can I say????

Wow! And on the Spanish. I was out there the other day and all I could make we're Spanish and the biggest greenback I've ever caught. The damn thing was stripping line!!

:cheers1:

that is a pig. . .
 

Nice work.

See you out on the water.

Nice Hali. You found the twin to the one I caught last weekend.

WTG that is a beauty.

Sweet catch!:cheers1:

Congrats Wayne!

That is a serious smile you got going on there.

Nice one Wayne! :notworthy::notworthy:. Congrats.

Wow,what a toad! Congrats.

Way to go Wayne - beautiful fish....and great smile. I need lessons.:)

we had an ok day....
thank you Tony for the assist, and draggin', that around all day....I could not have done it without you...Attachment 6631

apologies for the thread jack, in advance...sorry, still a little giddy...congrats on the toad

Nice thread jack! You couldnt wait could ya! That was a beautiful fish though!:luxhello:

Thanks, guys, for the feedback.

JB-"You should have seen it after his "swing and a miss."
..That wasn't a miss- it was my warm-up swing! Thanks for taking the pic.

Journeyman (Jarred?)- Your new mini-ProA is s-w-e-e-t. I'm envious! Hope you can join me sometime-I'm often out on Fri.

"How did u set up your rig for that bad boy? "..I usually take 2-3 rods each with different rigging and trade off if one isn't working. There doesn't seem to be a best one for hali (3xswivel dropper loop, sliding egg sinker, drop shot, and others)-I've nice hali on all when they're good and ready. The drop shot is what worked for me this time. I always use a trap hook with large sardines and macs.

"apologies for the thread jack, in advance...sorry, still a little giddy...congrats on the toad"...No apologies necessary, but I do reserve the right to jack your next post! I can totally relate to your excitement -outstanding 'but. How big was it? Heard there was a twin but maybe we should update it to triplets?

Nice fish Wayne. The last couple of times that I fished at Dana I only got 1 bite and each time came home with a halibut.

That fish was measured at 46 inches, 30 lbs...still stoked, that one is gonna be hard for me to better, but I sure am gonna try...great to be on the water
with everybody this weekend...

You guys are animals!


Catching 30 pound Hali's like they are lizard fish.


Damn, I'm inspired.

Nice catch Wayne!

Nice seein ya OTW yesterday, I was hoping we all could gone out, we had a pretty good group yesterday, how did you end up doing, we had just helped a guy who flipped at the entrance before we saw you going out :reel:

Nice Hali :D

Wow, nice 30 lbdr, Brett. That is a monster. Is that yer custom truck hoist? Looks like you're gonna need to invest in one if that's the kind of fish you're catching now.

Man! I shouldnt have stayed out sooo late could have been there with you guys :(
