I went fishing in the evening. First time in 2010, to get the cobwebs out. Met a guy in the parking lot outside Manresa. He'd caught some stripers down in the Monterey area. Had a nicelong rod with one of them VanStaal reels. As we rig up, some mexicans drive up and chat with us, and we both felt they might be a little dicey, as maybe the cars would get 'checked' later. Sunset. Rought waves. High tide. Getting dark. Worrying about car broken into. Leave one door open, guy says. First time in a long time. Flycast with the XP #9, etc, but the conditions were a little too rough for flyfishing. Didn't forget anything vital (good). Need to tie more perch flies.
