Shelter Cove - 4/10/11

From last night: Brutal day at the Cove. Saw lots of fish
caught - including a 24 pound 40 incher! Mostly smaller fish to
15 pounds, but heard of at least one other twenty and several
high teens. I was only able to manage a few strikes and one
pretty good one broken off. Bummers - especially for 8 straight
hours of trolling!! Ouch - I'm torched right now. Not
sunburnt, just so spent - it was an epic marathon of a workout.
I wish I'd have used the GPS to track mileage today - I'd say we
did at least 12. Dan the Boogieman joined us and shared the
misery of no fish with me, but Domenic got one around 10 pounds,
so we were stoked as a group anyway. The water wasn't bad, and
surprisingly, either was the wind. We got "boarded" by DFG
around 1PM - they actually boarded all the sport boats in the
area (15 or so) and came to each of us on kayaks for license and
hook check - that was a bit awkward and overkillish for the open
water, IMO. I think the average was well over a fish per rod
today, so we didn't fare that well on the yaks, and I'm not sure
why. The fish weren't that deep. I'm thinking the choppy water
slowed us down, and past success trolling may have been on
smoother days. Oh well, gotta take it in stride, be happy for
the day and the experience, and look forward to the future.
Good company and a nice ocean were definitely a pleasure. Thank
you to Domenic and Dan for the time on the water together. :)
I've got some pics, but I'll wait to post them when that
function works better.

Let's see about photo capability.
Still can't put up a 600 x 800 size photo.
