Went out to the local islands this week. Perfect weather and tough fishing at first. Ended up with a good trip but lots and lots of hard work. Fishing 18 hours a day, making squid and island hopping but it all paid off. Calicos to 7 lbs, a couple of halibut, sheepshead to 5 lbs, soupfin sharkS, bat rays, yellowtail to 20 lbs and limits of white seabass to 40 lbs.

That's a lot of time on the water and that is a lot of fish. Good for you.

Great day of fishing MJ!
Do the marines still fire at Clemente these days?

We got booted from our spot at 11:00 and watched a fleet of helicopters including an Apache practice manuevers for a couple of hours. It was pretty awesome.

Yeh, that is pretty cool to see. Was fishing the backside years ago, alone in my 17' boat and the shells could be heard coming in. Lickety split I was gone. Guess I never got the word they were firing that day from Pendleton. Pretty scary!

Scary stuff. Coast Guard came around the corner and got us on the radio and told us to move. Went west a bit and were going to go back but got our limits and decided to go home. Man, it was so beautiful out there. Amazing.

Yes it is! Use to be some big calicos and yellowtail off the back side. Now they catch some nice bluefin not too far from the island when they are running.

OUCH! That thumb looks raw, but it’s worth it catching all those fish. Congrats, but get some rest now.😉
