The day started off great when I decided to join Team Lollipop. I quickly got the Hobie ready and hit the water. I bypassed the anchovies at the bait barge and also decided to not make bait. I fished some plastics on the bottom near the kelp for just one short bass. I then rigged up a hard bait on a three way swivel and covered some areas that looked a bit fishy. I had no luck on the hard bait at all. Later, Mr. Greg Andrews gave us a tip on where we could find some sardines so a few of us quickly moved in to get some. I got a few pieces, changed my set-up, and on my second sardine (trap-rigged) I got my halibut. It was a bit nasty at times out there; I was forunate to land the hali since I almost lost it a couple of times at the gaff.
To my Team Lollipop Brothers we accomplished the mission. We were able to catch the "target" species and more importantly there will be no asterisk near the catch. Thanks for the lollipops Rob and it was a pleasure meeting everyone on the team.
To the "Other" Team and their revenge on me....all I can say is, "Suck It!"
