I was set to join Ron Ault today in the lower Bay Area. He was launching from a different spot than me when over the radio I heard him calling. Apparently his steering cable was caught on one of the rigging plates and he couldn't steer. I considered not going out in the face of the stiff north wind but decided, "Hey, I'm here, might as well give it a go."
My first fish was a surprise.
After that I picked up a couple of 18" fish but it was more random pickups than any pattern. Fortunately JJ, who I had not met before came pedaling into the area.
He found a spot and for the next hour it was mayhem as we caught 18-22" fish as fast as we could cast. Top water, tail spinners, paddle tails, heck a gummy worm could have worked. We both had two keepers in the box by the time the bite slowed with the tide. It was the kind of afternoon that will carry me through the winter.
