While Ray Zee has been hanging out over the hill in Colma, I've decided to go fishing. See, I asked if he was bringing rods on this trip, but he said that he wanted to play poker. sheesh!!
Anyway, I'm starting a new job next week, and, since I can play poker at night, but not fish much at night while working, I've decided to fish all week.
Today, I made my way out to Crissy Field, that den of liberal dog walkers right in the heart of SF, and busted out my brand spanking new 10 wt. rod. Thing casts like a broomstick, but all rods above 7 wts. do to me. I ranged up and down the beach, dodging school field trips with curious rug rats as well as unleased dogs and their self-entitled owners. along the way, I managed to pick up a single baby halibut, around 14" long. 8" and maybe a full season's worth of growing short of legal, but my first on the fly.
It's still too early for them, but the males are starting to show. Soon, the hawg females will be around, and the game will be on.
