I guess you could say I am back in the full swing of things. Three guided outings in 4 days and no ill effects to the old body. All the pieces are still where they should be. I am very happy. Saturday I had the Bakersfield group out and they hammered the perch. Monday I had a young man out who gave it all he had. In his own words when he hooked the corbina we were targeting, ” I AM FREAKING OUT”. He lost the fish but beat out the guy who had been stalking that fish before we got there. The kid is fearless and going to put us all to shame in the future, so much heart.

Today father and son came out from Santa Barbara and dad kept trout striking while the son got his fish.

Jesse with his perch and his first ever halibut in the surf on a fly.

We had leopard sharks all around us but tried to stay away from them until Jesse hooked one that came unbuttoned when it ran towards him and he could not strip fast enough, no one could have… The water was clear, the sun was out, it was 74 degrees, good to be back.
