Met up with friends down on the Lewis at 5:30 am, we were the first group of people to arrive. Started off with fishing with spinner - new glow blue fox spinner ($5) - about the 3rd cast, YES caught a ROCKFISH - SNAPPED my line, there goes my big mac meal. Then started glowballing, not much there. As soon as daylight broke, I begin my set up for float and jig, Yes I had the biggest float you have ever seen with some heavy weight, probably about an ounce. Had no luck at Jen's honey hole. Postal and fishingsince2 were at the lower part drifting float and jig, and not much happening. Did see someone further down catch one using sandshrimp. I joined with postal and fishingsince2, and as soon as I get there one of the reg local has fish on. The regular locals hooks up another 2 and postal also hooks up one. And that is the report. A big fat NADA for me, Jens and I'm not sure if fishingsince2 got any. Most were using nightmare jig and about 2-3' line. Water was in excellent condition. I think Postal took about 5 pictures with his catch, not sure if he wasn't happy with the angle or the fish wasn't smiling right. I don't think I ever seen a bigger grin on Postal's face before. Very nice fish Postal. Gave up around 1:30pm, and a long drive back home and I can hear that whisper again. Definitely recommend using float line, mono was just horrible and a bigger rod 9'6" or bigger.
