love to be on the water.... plus kid's Halloween party

[steelfish]

well, I've been through a fishing hiatus for little bit more of 4 months,  Yaaik!!  
between regular work, life, vacations, extremely hot summer, etc that keep me out from fishing for that time, I actually have a plan since few weeks ago to go fishing on the 2nd week of november, so, without any plan to be on the water soon I was seeing a movie with my kids on saturday night  when outta the blue, my friend called me to invite me to go fishing on the local bay which is 10 minutes from my house, he wanted to take his young boy (8yo) to fish but I had a kid's halloween party at my work place at 2pm so, it was hard for me to make it but he told me it would be just a quick trip from 8am to 11am, so I accepted, another friend joined us and took his grandkid too.
man, I love how unexpected trips always ended up been better than planned trips.

on local waters we are "orange mouth curvina" season http://catalinaop.com/Wholesale/yellow-mouth-corvina/#.W9jpUntKiUk, which is the little brother of the white SeaBass, its a small but delicious fish with a regular size of 12" - 15" but some can grow as big as 25" but is really rare to catch them as big so, light tackle is prefered to have bit of fun, I took my Komodo 364 on a okuma shadow stalker inshore rod 8ft and a solterra10cs on a 7.6ft musky rod, those curvinas were no contest for those combos but fishing double on a inshore rod was pretty fun.

here some pics

since is pretty near from the launching ramp Marina, the two kids and myself were aboard the panga while been haul to the ramp.



to the water we went


here is my friend and his kiddo with a curvina


a regular sized curvina on the solterra and musky rod, the combo was nice but kind of overkill for those fish



so, I better switched to the inshore combo and it was a game changer, those little demons really put a bend on the rod
(maybe because it was a double hook-up)





here are some of my friends and their kiddos putting some fish on the ice chest


then I got another good one that was taking some line, a small adjusment on the drag star and it was game over for the fish



soooo, I dont think it can be any better than this, a relaxing time to cure all worries and start a new day fresh.


then a lady on a panga next to us started screaming, the pangero (deckhand) helped the lady to reel and showed this fish to us,
a whiteGhost aka White SeaBass just next to us.


we trolled for a bit trying to catch a different fish but no avail


so, called a day at 11:45am to clean the fish and continue with the rest of the Sunday family matters

Way to go, Alex!

I use my Komodo in Alaska every year and locally for big Carp. Most of my gear is either Okuma or Abu Garcia...good stuff!

Thanks for sharing some warm water fishing adventures with us!

........my friend called me to invite me to go fishing.............. but I had a kid's halloween party at my work place at 2pm so, it was hard for me to make it but he told me it would be just a quick trip from 8am to 11am, so I accepted

you do guys remember that part?


well, here are some pics of the Halloween party that I attended with my kids after fishing in the morning, it was fun as always, the party is organized by my company for the kids of the employees, the kids need to dress a costume, there were some co-workers that dressed as superheroes and prepared some games for the kids, the final act for the kids is to "act" as their costume character to scare the judges and win a special prize.

my kids were dressed as "old-fashioned Vampire" and the older as a "crazy Doctor"






a picture of the group.



at the end of the event they waited in line to for their turn to get the candies




and thats how I ended the day ..




...



...


wait.. I left the fish on the ice chest to fillet them after the party !!   






Yep, I still had some work to do to finish the day, the cutting board is 17x12 so, you can some reference






and now, that's how I ended the day finally 
exhausted but happy
