Fished at Catalina the weekend of May 15th to 17th, 2009
Enjoyed the White Seabass Tournament at Two Harbors for the first time this year. It is produced by Kit McNear et al at Western Outdoor News! Well done to them.
I was very pleased with the event overall. Liked learning that my knots hold up with the testing machine. Good to try my hand at the casting. Just missed by a little. Good easy check in. Played the game and we went All-In on the jackpots we could afford and we thought were winnable.
The fishing was tough going for many of the teams. We caught many Calico's and a decent halibut. But no money fish for us. Fished hard all night long. I suspect that the fish were fat and happy judging by the amount of bait we saw in the water.
Sunday afternoon the after party was good, short and sweet. We did get several of the raffle prizes that makes hanging out at the end worth it. Tim got a boat care kit to Wax up Reel Lucky. G-man got an Avet Reel. Hoot!

I left MDR on Friday. Relaxed and had an excellent mooring at the Isthmus. F10 near the rocks. Made me nervous a little when mooring but great to see such clear and beautiful sea bed. Team with me was Tim S. (instigator) and Gary (Gman) and missing in action was Jeffery (Fish Killer) and myself. Tim, Gary and I did our best to find and kill a fish but alas the Calico and Halibut we did catch all went back.
We tried to find a good spot at West Cove but the place was a parking lot. then we got really lucky as the sportboat Toronado moved out of a sweet little place and left it all to us for the night of fishing. We fished all night. Used lots of fresh live squid. But like many of the teams in the tournament did not get the WSB hit. Next time.
Thanks to WON for the event. Thanks for the excuse to go spend yet another weekend on the water fishing as hard as possible!
Keith and team Ramblin'
