Slimy, Stinky and Bloody...Team NBU slay session 5/31 (Freelance)

[Funjunkie74]

So after last weeks bass-assination (http://fishingnetwork.net/forum4/showthread.php?t=18419) Team NBU decided to go out on the Freelance from Davey's Locker - Newport Beach. Although the hope was that we would go over to the island, but Capt. Norris Tapp had informed us that the barries are on the chew!! So, that's what we're gonna do...as always I asked Capt. Norris..."Where ya gonna take us?" As Capt. Norris always does...he rolled his eyes and replied "Where the fish are." Why did I even ask??

Short Story:
Kevin and I limited out by 12pm or so. (I think Kev limited out earlier, I was pacing myself so I won't limit out too early.)
Bob was having a few issues with casting. But he did miraculously land a sheepshead at the end of the day.

It was an awesome day for barries!! Although they may stink a little, slim you up a little, spit blood all over the place...THEM BARRIES SURE ARE LOTTA FUN TO CATCH!!

Long Story:
5:35am I'm at my local gas station picking up my usual - coffee, donettes, 2 bags of ice and a Vitamin Water - I get a call from him....the self proclaimed legend...k3vin_kim. "Dude...I completely miscalculated how far Davey's (Locker) is from my house. I'll be there in 45 minutes!" I'm thinking...you mean you over-slept, right Mr. Legend?? LOL!!

5:40am As I'm leaving my gas station, I get a call from NBU "Ritual Leader", Bob. "Uh...where are you? I'm already at the landing." I explained the situation and that I'll be there in 12 minutes.

5:52am As I'm coming off the 55 fwy, I notice a Honda Accord with a blue dolphin hanging from the rear view mirror...that's KEVIN!! Once again, I think he OVER-CALCULATED how long it was gonna take him to get there.

6:30am Anyway, we pay, we chat, Bob drops the "kids" off at the pool and we're on the boat. The usual saying hi to familiar faces, setting up gear, breakfast...etc.
Capt. Norris explains to us that we're gonna pick up some bait and go after the barracuda that have been biting right outside the harbor.

As with last week, I decided not to use any bait. I want to practice my artificial skillz~ (jigs, lures, plastics...etc.)

7:30am After bait pick up, we are in the parking lot!! Every boat from everywhere seemed to be there. Dana Pride, Native Sun, Victory....etc.

From here on out, it's pretty much a slay fest. I had a barrie that tried to retaliate!
http://tsuribaka.us/photos/2008/20080531/P5310009.jpg

Kevin killed...

Bob killed...
http://tsuribaka.us/photos/2008/20080531/P5310011.jpg

I killed...but don't have a picture of myself in my camera...(Kev, post it!)

I managed to get (once again) 2nd place for JP. That's #5 for this year alone!!
It's nice to know that at least I'm getting close to JP, but it is frustrating!! GRRRR!

Here's the winner of JP by a difference of 0.5oz!!

But I think the highlight of this trip was when one of the guests on board, who was yo-yo-ing a Tady blue/chrome snagged this...
http://tsuribaka.us/photos/2008/20080531/P5310029.jpg

Yep, that's a Pelagic jacket that was picked up from the bottom of the sea!!
This was not a rescue mission, as in no one from the boat lost it, it was really snagged on the jig and pulled up!! I think that'll go down as one of the rare-est catches of all time!!

Nice, Did They Find The Body Of The Owner Of The Jacket?? Lol

I LOVE BEERACUDAS :D

wtg on the barries guys :cool:

[k3vin_kim]

yes it was quite a trip. It started getting a little... too easy after catching barries on just leadheads alone.

That's when Joe and I started resorting to fishing barries on our kiddie poles. That was purty fun. I think the highlight of my day was when I threw my kiddie pole into the ocean just for the sake of amusement.

Joe- proud of ya man, you came in close second again. Great choice on the PHo restraraunt afterward too. The Dac Biet hit the spot.

Bob- Same to you homey. The three of us on the bow just killed it. Nice Goat by the way. I love it when you go home the night of a trip and read the fishcounts. When it says, 242 barracuda. 2 sand bass. 1 Sheephead. = that's a great feeling to know that YOU were responsible for catching that 1 Sheephead.

My count at the end of the day was 21 scooters.

[fuj]

Forget those gar, I wanna go where the Pelagics bite! :ROFL:

[k3vin_kim]

just for fun...

Someone tell the guy in the second picture... "that's not what the captain meant by 'UP and DOWN' Fishing".

[gallogg]

Nice reports, Joe and Kevin.
Me and Mike heard that you guys got limit and was going to jump on today.
But, I had to work this morning.
Maybe next time.

Tight Lines.

Sammy

Sammy! Thanks! Technically, we got double limits. Unbelievably there were a couple EMPTY SACKS!!! Don't ask me how that's possible, but I think that dude in one of the pictures tells it all...NBU WAS ON FIRE!!! Since we filled up our own sacks we started filling in other peoples'!!!

Rich, didn't you see that pic with Kev taking a pic of Bob?? You can see how close we were to land!! It was like that the whole day!! We were probably about a mile ~ 1.5 miles off shore! UNBELIEVABLE!!

Alan, Bob's "Cleansing Ritual" is only when the fishing mojo slows down. It's not to be abused or taken lightly. We've had more trips where Bob's services have proven itself!!

Your fish-head biting was just because you had the giggles and a couple of drinks!! LOL!!

BTW, I didn't see any squid strips on anybody. It seems as though Bob's slowing down in his old age.

Billy I thought I sensed a disturbance in the force!! Deep down I knew that you had to be out there somewhere!! Unfortunately, I don't know what your boat looks like (*hint hint) so I couldn't tell which one was you among all the other PBers.

Look forward to reading your side of the story!

That would be called a 1.5-day, no?
Or do you mean that you get home on Saturday and get to spend Sunday at home? Which that case would be an overnight...

Either case, are you lookin' at the Pac Star??

FJ74

Nothing goes by you. Yeah, the Pac Star. Overnight trip, departing Friday, returning Saturday and be home Sunday for Father's Day. I am open to other landing suggestions.

[LA Smoker]

5 spots left on Pac Star...

[SOSO]

Joe, Kev, Bob,

I made my reservations today @ Seaforth Landing.

1 day trip
Departing 6/13
Returning 6/14
Pacific Star

*Bob, just talked to them, plenty of spots left. Need you bro to bite the fish heads for good luck.

[LA Smoker]

I'd rather do a 1.5... more fishing. But I'm down either way.

Man, I would like to go on a 16 day..But need to be home with family on Father's Day.

Way to go on the Barracudas guys!

[BIGRED KILLA]

Nice report and pics but where are all the pics of you guys eating the bait.lol

THANKS!! You going out this weekend?!


Nice report and pics but where are all the pics of you guys eating the bait.lol

Bigred

BIGRED!! We don't need to bite the bait when the chew is ON!! That's a ritual only to "cleanse" the boat of bad mojo....such as when someone breaks out a banana and somehow shuts down the bite!!
