Some people say fishing on the St Croix is too busy on the weekends…too many big boats….
I think as with any highly used area, one should be on the watch and ready to “shove off” any boats that come too close…
Ok, I don’t want to confuse people. These pictures were taken off of Point Loma in San Diego CA last Saturday.
The Calico Bass were hitting in the kelp beds and we (my wife and I) had a blast. It was her birthday present if you recall! 
No real big fish…most average 1.5 to 2 lbs, but the quantity was there!
We were using Garcia 6500’s mostly, with 7′ medium action rods. For terminal tackle, it was a very simple set up…a hook and a sardine. Leaving the bail open for the sardine to swim and take line out.
The bass hide under the kelp and with a good cast that landed close to the edge of the kelp, you were almost assured a strike.
Captain Frank and First Mate David, did a great job keeping us on fish. In fact, my wife tuckered out after a while and took a little nap on the couch. I’m not sure why she didn’t use one of the two beds.
If you find yourself in the Southern CA area with an itch to fish, I would highly recommend looking up James and Lisa at http://www.afinedayfishing.com. No, I’m not getting a discount for plugging them…just passing along a GREAT experiance. The last time I used them the weather was so bad, I thought they would cancel on me…. 34 foot waves and raining…they gave us an option to fish in the bay. The weather was miserable…but with a small window in my schedule, we still went fishing and had a couple meals of fresh fish.
Check out the upper right corner of the window….
My wife and her birthday present…..see how happy she is?! 
I know it’s not safe to talk about wive’s and there weight….but after eating all the fish…well, we are going to have to go on a program!
Last picture…of Captain Frank…
Did you sing her the Norweigian love songs?
Well…no…but she bought ME a shirt….
