A couple friends and I were planning on going out this morning but the darn rain put a damper on things. Decided to scratch and postpone until next Fri.

So I'm posting last week's outing since I've got some time! Sorry it's a week old.

Antonio, Jason and I launched out of SS at 8:00am to the most beautiful, calmest waters I've ever seen!
Clear blue skies with absolutely ZERO wind!

So we head out and do some trollin' for Bonita as they were on the chew.
Jason puts out 2 trollers and within minutes we get a double up!
I barely got a pic in of mine when I noticed Jason was already bleeding his!!
Oh well, pic for Jason next time. Meanwhile, Antonio tries flylining sardines for no love.

Largest Bonita I've ever landed so it was nice. :)

I forgot my Krocs so I tried thowing a swimmer for a really GOOD bite but it got unbuttoned a couple seconds later.
Then I tried the bottom for a dink calico which I didn't even take a pic of.
After a few minutes, we start moving again and I hand trolled using the same orange swimmer.
Not even 30 secs goes by and I had another fish on! So we stop and everyones throwing stuff all around.

Some nibs here n there and we're back on the troll. About 30 min later:

10 min later, Jason gets his third...first pic though! This guy is FAST with his bleeding!

And my last Boner of the day:

Strange how a cigarette got in my mouth as I don't smoke...:???:
Actually, I photochopped that in to make me look cooler...did it work? :)

Antonio got one in and also lost one to the dogs as well as one of Jason's "Hawaii" special lures. :Angry:

We had more than enough Boners so we decided to head in looking for some bassin action. Threw some shads for a couple bass and a sculpin:

Antonio got a sculpin too but didn't get a pic.

It was such a nice day...good to get out of that stagnant smog!
Can't wait until next time!

Thanks for looking!

Hi fishmaniac,

Great job on the report, pics, and fishys. Better late than never ! Dead-calm water is not that uncommon in the dead of Winter and kinda look forward to it actually. One of the perks of venturing out after most have left the water. This year will be one of the least crowded years on Horseshoe Kelp in decades from my guess !!

WTG on the rubber !

JR, I'm already looking forward to my next outing for SURE! Hopefully, things are nice and calm then too.

Rubber is KING! :Cool:

Nice Boners dude, hey next time try making some sashimi out of them, but pop the gills the minute they hit the deck and ice them then try. I heard that Bonita sashimi is suppose to be good.
