Fished hard in the MDR Halibut Derby

We had fun. We fished a lot of places all up and down the Santa Monica Bay. On Saturday from Malibu near the Malibu Pier to Twin Towers. We caught some fish but not the right type. Jeff and Dennis and I got some bites on Bass but no halibut. Thomas fished a little but mostly slept off his bonine (sea-sickness medication).

We did Ok and the Bait was good but the Halibut were not cooperating with us or with many of the other fishermen. The radio had lots of talk and little bragging. Mostly bemoaning the lack of halibut or any fish bite.

Our more productive area was near Dukes in Malibu and along Big Rock.

Sunday we went south. And caught Zilch!

Those who did weigh in fish weighed in some great fish. 3 of them over 35 pounds!

See www.mdranglers.com/HD2008/ for all the details.

Maybe next time.
