👤 Evantook my kids out to half moon bay for some family fun. caught a few tiny sardines, which was exciting for them! the wind was a bit strong, but we made it work. they had a blast reeling them in, even if they were small. def looking forward to the next trip, hopefully catch something bigger next time!

👤 Dianahalf moon bay was great today, even with the overcast skies! nabbed a few nice salmon, around 3-4 lbs each. used some herring and they were hittin it hard. had to deal with some sea lions tho, they were getting a lil too close for comfort 😂. but all in all a solid day!
