Took my son to NPH today about 12 noon. We fished from a public dock that we discovered during a trip to Balboa Pier a few weeks ago. Fishing was slow until the tide started moving again.

First fish was a YFC on a GCSW. Forgot my camera in my car, so no pic.
Second fish was a SFC on the same. Really nice sized one too.

By then I decided to go back to my car and get my camera, glad I did too.

My son picked up this bass on mussel right off the side of the dock....
He caught 4 more, 3 small Calicos and a perch.

The Barracudas were out in large numbers. I caught 8 of them. I realized after hooking the first 3 that using an LC FM isn't a good idea. They did a little damage to the finish on the LC but at the end of the fight, the LC tore those 3 cudas up pretty good. All 3 that were caught on the LC had the center hook in their mouths with either the front or rear trebles buried in their skulls. I switched to a green mac kroc after that to minimize the damage.

Nice job on the multi species day.
Those LC's treble hooks are pretty wicked.
Thanks for the report. :cool: :D

When i go Harbor Cuda fishing in MDR. I take out the middle hook and sometimes both front and middle to minimize damage to the fish. Makes catching a little challenging also.

Nice job on the nice Spottie for your son and good the see the Cuda's coming in!!

There are many other producing dock in that Harbor so if the bite is not there when you return it will be time to explore.
