Lizards!

Headed over to the Vinoy basin this morning to try my luck in a different spot. Started with a 1/8oz red jighead and a new penny color Gulp shrimp. The bites came immediately.

On my third cast I caught this feisty 9" lizard fish, which got the skunk off my pole.


The lizard fish were thick in the basin this morning, and just about the only thing biting, probably due to the icy 45 degree weather.

I did eventually catch a nice trout, but it self released near my feet. Still, it felt good to get some catching done, and the new penny color of Gulp shrimp is certainly producing a furious bite from the fish. Unfortunately, my bait was decimated again (see yesterday's photo).
