Arrived just a little after 7am. The water level is very high and fast. Visible for only about 2-3 feet. Started just below the bridge, saw 4 other anglers there, not much action. Two fat sea lions in there just having a nice sushi party. I did catch alot of rockfish again and one stickfish. All the rockfish snapped my line, but did release the stickfish, it was huge. Moved up and down and did see one fellow hook a semi chrome chum hen. I offered to help net the fish for him (can you say deja vu), he didn't want it so I ended up taking the fish, I wanted to feel what it's like to have a fish on my pole. So I hooked the fish on my line and played with her, ahh it felt good. I walked the fish down river to show everyone I had fish on. Finally the fish tired out and brought it back to shore, then asian lady came up asking me how I caught that, and I told her someone else caught the fish and I was just playing with it. So I gave the fish to her. Went back to the area where that fish was caught and nothing, tried other areas and nothing but rockfish. Tried to fish with my blue fox spinner and nothing. Finally my last 12th leader snapped from the rockfish, decided that was the end for me, left around 11am.
