I talked with a lot of kayakers today an no one seemed to be doing any better. I guess the guys up by the bait barge were catching a bunch of small calicos. There was a guy right by the CC beach entrance in a pontoon belly type boat that hooked into something really big, he fought it for at least a half hour before it broke him off. He was fishing a pretty light rod I think because he couldn't lift it off the bottom. I watched him for a long time, he would gain a little line they it would take it back. Maybe a big halibut or a bat ray, I don't know if he ever saw it.
How is Steve feeling and how is your back? My old rotator cuff injury flared up today and got a little uncomfortable. I think I irritated it by starting to do push ups again, I noticed I was sore afterwards, I guess I'll knock those off.
