Hi again.. Third fishing trip this week =)
we launched the boat at about 4:30 .. and arrived Catalina at about 5:30 ish ..
whats the best way to start a good fishing day? YES! no live bait at catalina =(
we circled around Catalina , visited every Squid boat but they all ran out or told us they didnt catch anyso we were like.. omg ... luckily we had some frozen squid for chumpin', and we used them for the whole day
the WSB spot had about 20+ boats fishing already when we arrived so we decided to go shallower , 2 people made some live bait on that spot (smelt and spainish mack) , me and my friend fished the bottom and we got a lot of yellow croacker, then we hit the east side of the island , 2 people fly line for yellows and 2 of us fish for bottom
at this spot, i got my first legal sheephead finally! then followed by lots of small sheephead and some legal ones
we headed back to the WSB spot to fish again.. nothing happened, fished the east side again, everything stopped
biting.. then the wind started kicking, gusting about 15knots ish , so the capt decided to head back earlier
we expected a very rough ride due to the wind but it ended up ok, spent about 50mins back to seal beach ,
then we greeted by DFG guy and measured our fish at the dock
fishing was slow and it started off with no live bait but i got my first legal sheephead so im very happy =)
Hopefully better luck next time
Thanks for readin'
