A day fishing on Sunday

Took three kids and two dads out for a little fishing on Sunday. The
fishing had been very slow for Santa Monica Bay. But we found some
fish and my son, Ryan, brought up a very nice 45+ lb Black Sea Bass.
On the same rod & reel that he won in the Halibut Derby! Ryan fought
the beast to the surface after a lot of work using 20# line on a
spinning rig. Lots of perseverance form Ryan and a bit of boat
maneuvering won out. What a beautiful sight!

We were in 110 feet on the upside of "The pipe" just south of MDR. We
had good marks on the meter. A big Sculpin too.

The boat ran fine. The dads got out-fished by the boys. Ouch. (in a good way) :-)

A fine day on the water. Keith <"><

Boating trips


I'm pleased to say I got some time in on the water.

Weekend to the Island on Wavelength for the Calico tournament.

Weekend on the It'll Do to Cat Harbor with family for the Labor Day Cruise.

Weekend on the water marlin hunting out of San Diego on the Non-Taxing. Looking the water over hard but not finding. Shoulda' Coulda' Woulda' done the Tuna on the outside butterfly but CJL was looking for First Marlin flag and bragging rights. We found a nice Hammerhead and some juicy 40# Humboldt Squid. Some fun.

Weekend on the Clicker for the KHMT out of Avalon.

Weekend on the It'll Do to Avalon for the family to visit the lovely town and me to check out the boat. We had a nice mooring near Disconso beach. My little 30 ft boat looked nice on the water. Happy Place. Photo of the boat on mooring W 12 using my cell phone. Not bad.

More soon. Keith L.
