Hey Guys,
Had to get some salt in the blood sence I live here in the desert. I headed out to Dana Point Sportfishing to fish on the Sea Horse overnight trip. So I left Vegas friday afternoon for the long drive down and got to the landing five hours later. Got checked in at the landing to find out that there was a nice load of 15 guys on the boat.
At 7:30 we loaded the boat and at 8:10 we were off. Tyler gave us his boat speach and said we were going to San Clemente in search of the yellows that they had seen there before all the weather. So off the Catalina for a tank of squid and the ride out was a little bumpy. Well after waiting a couple hours to get bait we were finally off to Clemente. We got there around 4:30 am and did a little fishing in the East end waiting for the sun to come up. At 6:45 am we are off for the back side looking for yellows and thats all we did for several hours with a really narly swell and a 25 knot wind that was nuts. The swells just kept building and the wind even harder with swells around 8 to 10 feet at times. Well as you expect no love from the yellows.
At noon we head back to the front side to fill the bags and DAMN the wind is just as bad here to. We set up for a few drifts and the boat was moving very fast. I used 16oz of lead and coud not stay down. After drifting from spot to spot and putting some quality reds and whitefish in the sack it was finally time to go home and it was like a Victory at sea ride for a while.
I had a lot of fun but didn't get any pictures because it was such slow fishing. The crew was very awesome and Tyler worked hard to find fish but the Snotty Weather just would not let it happen. I really recommend this boat and can't wait to head back over again for another trip.
Here are a couple pictures I did get to take and hope you all have enjoyed and take it easy
