|
With conditions forecast to be favorable for epic jetty trout we were ready to go. With a scheduled meet at a local breakfast taco haunt, and a 0700 departure on the Jetty Boat, sleep was allusive as I woke numerous times well before the alarm. With a 5 minute drive, the early wake up was not needed...but like clockwork I was up around 0400. Could have gotten up at 0600 and had plenty of time 
It is what it is, and after a 0615-0645 breakfast stop it was off to the Jetty Boat...The quick ride across simply stoked our anticipation of things to come...
As if this wasn't enough, the view looking eastward on the jetties was worth the price of admission.
Unfortunately the trout would not come out to play, though a few bruiser reds would be caught and released...sometimes intentionally and sometimes due to their bad behavior as they found their favorite knife edged rock...
All in all a fine morning and was back at the house drinking coffee by 1030...bummer tomorrow is Monday  |

| I was on the south side that morning, got in around 0645. Was using a similar set up with no bites though. Interestingly enough the day before we caught two bull's with same color mullet arty's. Great catch! |
