CI Summer Solstice weekend Rpt w-pics

[Red Drum]

I took the “Big Drum” out for a weekend trip with my good friend Mike and his friend Joe from his work. We fished out of Channel Island Harbor for a nice of assortment of Rockfish and Calico Bass. I hadn’t done a full weekend trip in quite sometime, so I was really looking forward to doing a lot of fishing and just having a relaxing Summer Solstice weekend.

Here I am with a nice Whitefish.

Here is Joe with a big Giant Kelpfish, caught on a swim bait. I’m kicking myself for not submitting that fish for the new California State record. Ole Joe could have had his name in the record book.

A cool blow hole at Anacapa Island.

Had an awesome time on the water and Mike and Joe said that they won’t be forgetting this trip anytime soon. I can’t wait to get back out on the water again. HOOK-UP!!

Till next tide,

I'm seriously jonesing and the blood is pumping just thinking about adding some WSB and Halibut to go along with those Rockfish. Just need another good weather window.
