DRYC Calico Bass Tournament

Hi All...  Yup, I went fishing again.

Luckily I was invited by my good friend Richard to ride along on his boat for the DRYC Calico Bass Tournament and fish the back side of Catalina Island.  It as fun and a very good weekend out in the beautiful ocean again.  I had to go!

Led by Richard we fished up the back side from Cat Harbor and launched the dinghy to let a couple of guys to get in tight and fish behind the kelp lines for big bass.  It worked.  But not for the big ones.

After seeing how tight to the shore and rocks we were getting Richard insisted we put on a life vest to be a little safe in the event we were forced into the water.

 Jeffrey got a nice calico bass but it did not stay alive for the weigh-in.  Then Brad got the top fish at the end of the day when were were fishing all the way up near the end of the island near Eagle rock.

At 4.6 lbs and released alive at the official weigh-in we took first place at the dinner party.

Nice Event...  I'll definitely be back again.  Look for it on the calendar of events yourself.

The next day we went south to San Clemente Island for a little more fishing and managed one notable fish of a nice home guard yellowtail by Jeffrey.

Brad did the honors on the gaff.  It made a delishious dinner in Avalon that night.  We fished the front side of Catalina on the next morning for a few throw back fish like barracuda and small calicos etc.

All in all we all enjoyed our time on Richard's boat.  Wavelength is fast and comfortable for 4 anglers for 3 days.  A great ride.  Thank YOU!

Good-bye to Catalina, until next time

Another beautiful fishing / boating trip.
