I wanted to see friends more than fishing, so we fished together.

I dont love three dudes in a bass boat. we brushed each other all three ways with wild backcasts.. a few times.

but we hit the California Delta yesterday. we met up at noon. hit a bad tide, during a rain storm, and after a really big rain storm. the conditions were BAD! bass boats were coming in, grumbling about "no bites". an acquaintance held up his hand with his fingers looped in a "zero" indicating he skunked as well.

I got the first bite!!! a two pounder after I said to my friends, "did you see that cast? there has to be a....."

overall, we got 7 fish. a 5.5 toad that my bud punched up from under the nastiest weed patch I've seen.

the best part? we laughed all afternoon. our faces were sore from laughing. best time ever...we hit up some 7-Mares soup for dinner after a scary darkness boat run...and I crawled into bed at 11. great day...fishing was meh. laughs were keepers all day long. hahahah. nobody on board skunked!!

the Delta is going to be fire this year..I just feel it.
