Preperation for the Halibut Derby

Goin' Fishin'

Went out for a little test run on Sunday at 8 AM. With me was 3/4 of my Halibut Derby team. Getting into the mindset and the boat and the gear dialed in for the April 4th & 5th MDR Halibut Derby.

So we went out to test out Ramblin' as a boat to do some of that "Bounce Balling" from. It was Not working for us. In Sundays mellow morning weather I could not go slow enough. Tried a 60 inch drag chute and still could not easily go slow enough. One engine in and out of gear. Just too much torque.

So we finally gave up on that and started using a bit of bait. Tim S. got one really nice sand bass in 63 feet of water off of Venice pier. So we were not blanked for a 1/4 day of fishing.

Tight Lines,
