Got up, got out, got coffee and got my arse to Coronado for a little fly fishing. Hit a favorite spot, tried a few flies, starting with a green deceiver, then a black curly-tail bay fly (it was real overcast), then an orange non-curly-tail bay fly, and that seemed to be the ticket. As much as there was a ticket. First fish came as somewhat of a surprise, as I'd been fishing for quite a while with not so much as a bump. A small spottie. I tried to get a pic, but the digicam was buried too deep in the waist pack. So I moved the digicam - the famous digicam - to a pocket in my shorts. Then I moved my arse to different spot. I got a strong hit, followed by a good fight, and in short time I beached this nice Yellow-fin Croaker, one of my favorite bay fish - especially in as shallow water as this that this guy came in.
A few casts later, and as I'm about to lift the fly to recast, it gets hit and I see a small fish streak from left to right in the two-feet of water in front of me. But, as small as it was it only took a swing of my fly rod to beach this little halibut for his close-up.
Nice day on the water, haven't flung flies in a while, and it was nice to have a little success.

Very nice action IMO. A good YFC and good looking hali on the fly. I hope you are stoked about it. I hope you smiled wide when you hooked and landed them. You should be getting out more, like this effort. You enjoyed yourself, I know it. Dork. ;)
Thanks LD. It was a good day to be a fisherman.
