short version - it was good.
semi long - shoved off late and were the last ones to the tailgate. Only big dines so a lot of misses. Switched to GULP shrimp for a couple of short sandies. LA Harbor boat hooked us up with a few scoops of chovies and the bite got better. We pretty much had our limits by noon. A 12 year old girl hooked up with a MONSTER ~10lb sandie. Thing was a BEAST. I threw a couple of toads back since I hit my limit until the crew said to give my little ones to the communal bag and keep the larger ones. So I did. Chased some cudas and landed a few except for me. Got bit off twice and couldn't flyline since I suck with a bait caster and I was against the bulkhead and couldn't get the right angle to flyline which seemed the ticket. Underway back to port around 3PM. A bit short for a 3/4 day and no trip to catalina was a bit disappointing but all in all a good day and great crew.
