I tell you it was nice to sleep in till 4:30am for a change!That getting up at 2:00 stuff for albicore was getting tiresome! Anyways it seemed everybody had something to do today so I fished solo out of S.B., and true to form the bass went nuts preceeding the incoming storm, I started off at ledbetter, caught 12legals to 2lbs (mostly sandies) in there, then moved over to the one mile to try and get some quality, first drift only gave up two fish, but I said Ill give one more before moving on, and then all heck broke loose! those bass went wide!! and decent quality plus almost all calicos lots of 2-4lb fish, went the dust or should I say spray settled I caught and released 56 legal bass to 4lbs 70/30 cali/sandie mix all caught on 4-5in bighammers with the new silver sardine and good ole clear/red flake being the top two producers. water temp was 61.4 color was a nice off green/blue and the drift was smoking up hill due to current with wind, I was covering .25miles in about 10-15min!....Larry
Real fish are measured in pounds - not inches!

Great report. At what depths were the fish hanging, and what weight leadheads did you need in that drift? I fished the same areas the day before and seemed to be there at the start of the pre-rain action with about a dozen fish c&r, many missed strikes, and many fish lost about half way up. The action was furious at times. Because most of the metered fish were within two feet of the bottom and all of the bite happened there I believe that I could have done even better with heavier leadheads.
Thanks.
