Report- LTJ BPL area 11/05/09

[B-Faithful]

I guess I will be the first person who posts a report on CBA!

Went fishing with my good friend and neighbor today. We started in at the Bay Bridge area and made our way down to the BPL area. We found pods of birds and had our fill of smaller fish to 24". Most the keeper sized fish were caught at the tail end ebb tide. Most fish were on the surface or suspended. I mostly used a 6" BKD and my neighbor threw a swim plug. We had hoped for some bigger fish but they eluded us. Weather was perfect!!!

Here are a few shots of the day!

Glad to see birds closer to home. A friend of mine went from the Rhode down to Breezy and said he had a good day. Quite a few fish over 28".

OMG, Greg LTJ? What is the world coming to? At least the Judge is out of the driveway! Way to get 'em bud!

I have had enough of that LTJing business.... If you saw Greg Buckners report on TF, you will know that I am going to pull out the heavy gear and planer boards next week! It is on like Donkey Kong

I thought we were avoiding that bad word starting with Tidal???

Not to stir up a pile of it, but things are getting a bit touchy on TF. Anybody who spends time on a fishing website loves to fish and catch fish above all else. I like jigging, LL and trolling. I like trolling with friends who generally do not fish for the ease and social aspects. There seemed to be a growing LTJ versus trolling mentality. The vast majority would rather have more days catching and fewer days keeping. Saving rockfish by banning C&R trolling is like trying to pick the fly sh*t out of the pepper with chop sticks. Another words, it is a futile effort.

Anyway, back to fishing. Whoever wants to fish on a real boat ( happy Judge owner, right Greg) with great electronics (love my 4010, thanks for the deal Jim) come on down to Breezy, it is happening right now. Family fishing Sunday but later next week is wide open for those who want to go. I do not want anything other than company, laughs and of course pullage.

Agreed. I love all aspects of fishing. I enjoy throwing a jig, chumming/chunking, eeling, trolling, etc. I have had great days fishing each of the methods and I have had skunks fishing each way too. They are all sporting to me and allow me to enjoy our wonderful natural resources. I love sharing and reading about other fisherman who have great times out on the water regardless of method too. With all that said, I am looking forward to trolling up some big fish! I have the fever again

Baldy, To me TF isnt evil, just the judgements against some that enjoy fishing a certain way without justified reasoning. I will still participate over there but think I will reserve my reports for over here as to not be judged if my method was as sporting as another guys. I too will probably spend more time posting here

Back to fishing..
