My friends an I have charter the Gail Force out of La Harbor for the past three years and will continue to charter her for years to come. Sorry for the late report, but I didn't want to post a report without any photos. My friends have been lagging on the pictures, which he had promise to send to me asap. In a way it was my fault for the late report, because I have forgotten my camera at home. Anyways, a late report is better than none so here it is.

Stop on paddy in mid channel and made some mackerel. Had about 400 pieces in less than 30 minutes. The mackerel were on the smaller size, about 6 inches.

Big Danny with the jackpot yellowtail, weighing over 20lbs.
Crew: Captain Ryan G, decking was Bryan, and in the galley was Joel.
Fished: Catalina Island backside
Bait: Nice anchovies the largest I have seen in years, some sardines, frozen squid, and mackerel.
Typed of fish caught: Spanish mackerel, blue perch, sheephead, calico bass, yellowtail, barracuda, bonita, and sanbass. Yes we caught several sandbass at the Island.
What I caught: 8 calico bass, all the bonita I wanted, several short cuda and 2 sheephead. I caught most of my fish on the Fishtrap Whams.
The bass were eating the baby mac,anchovies, plastic, and surface iron. The yellow was caught on frozen squid and the bonita were chewing the anchovies, mac, and the plastic. I had such a great time fishing among friends. It's nice when everyone on board knows how to fish, resulting in in very little to no tangles at all. There were also plenty of rail space and no stern hogs. I almost forgot to thank the crew of the Gail Force for all their hard work and great customer service. I can't wait for next year charter. If anyone is looking for a boat to charter I would highly recommend the Gail Force of of LA Harbor. It might be hard to book because it a popular boat, but worth it. Thanks for reading and goodluck on your next fishing adventure, Pokerface.
