What's that smell!!!

Yep, it's skunk! Got smoke checked on the water yesterday! Not a bite one in 5 1/2 hours. It went from foggy and cool to sunny and hot in about 90 minutes. Literally went from 57* to 88* by about 9 am, the fish moved deep and I could see them frolicking around on their beds, rubbing on logs, but I'll be darned if I couldn't get them to bite.

The only cool part of the day is I saw this big @$$ flying bird with a nice bass in his claws; I said to meself, "that's not a vulture!" It landed on a tree right behind our boat. Once I got my eyes to focus through the fog I realized it was a bald eagle with breakfast in his claws. What an amazing sight!!! I had never seen an eagle in the wild, let alone did I know SoCal was home to them. Unfortunately by the time I was able to get my phone out of my pocket and the fog to lift enough to get a pic he had flown off.

On another note fishing in SoCal is so darn frustrating! The bite is never consistent, etc, etc, etc....LOL! Hope you all had a better weekend then I did (fishing wise).
