Its been a wonderful time here in Cali…great to be back home. after a long awaited vacation
I got out on my old friends rig Friday …our plan was fish the harbour and rock wall for sand bass and calico bass till the traditional afternoon winds calm down..got on the water at 3pm..covered a lot of area for little to nothing..I was getting a little worried as mike and my buddy Sebastian had a couple fish in the box..its been 15 years since I have touched the ocean…
Around the 10pm hour I started to get my groove after 6 hours of nothing..the harbour.bite picked up ….mostly small Johnny bass and smaller sandbass and sculpin so the call was hit the oil rigs just a few miles outside the gap..
Throwing 3/4 to 1 oz weedless jighead with 4 inch gulp alive the bite was on…
With some experimental tactics big swim jigs pulled the big calico bass
Man what a blast we had countless doubles And a triple for the night with well over 50 fish caught for the three of us with several 5 pounders caught and released..
We called it a night around 2am sore thumbs and all a awesome night.
it was such a blessing and wonderful time to take the familiy to my stomping grounds as i was a kid .. and to reconnect with old friends——————————————————————————–
