Float tubed Haskell's Beach this morning with Bryan Davis. The conditions were pretty nice except for the tide was pretty low. Started the day off almost right away with a short halibut on the 3 inch Big Hammer (Sea Wolf color). Just after that I got a tiny rockfish. Bryan showed up and got himself a 25 - 30 lb. Angel Shark on the 3 inch Hammer and I got a small white seabass. I decided to do a little exploring and went up toward the next "beach". I found a couple more short halibut (one on the Assalt Ringer in Pearl Flash and one on a Rebel Minnow crankbait). On my way back I found some very clear water with a nice mix of eel grass, rock, and kelp. It was like I was looking into an aquarium. I stopped for a while and watched perch, a school of small white seabass, a leopard shark, a few small bat rays. Started fishing the Ringer again (Texas-rigged so it is weedless) and got a pretty big rockfish (about 15-16 inches). Bryan caught a few more short halibut back near the pier and had left. On the other side of the pier I kicked through some nasty looking water (weeds, tar, etc.) into a clear spot with a sandy bottom not too far from where I was going to get out. I decided to make a couple more casts with the 3 inch Hammer and I was glad I did as I ended the day with a 26 inch halibut.
