Went out with three friends Tuesday and told them not to plan on catching anything since I had not had much luck of late. Ended up with six reds, two under slot, one over slot, and three in the box. Add a flounder and we had a very nice day.
One new guy hooked up with a fight that lasted 10-15 minutes....I told him this was going to make a great picture, kept tightening the drag since he was having a hard time gaining on the fish...got it to the boat and it was a huge stingray

Disappointing but he ended up with the largest slot red an hour later so all was forgotten.
According to the solar lunar calendar we were fishing in the peak times, projected to be a decent day, and most fish caught on the end of the rising tide.
