Catalina Island 12-10-08

[pokerface12]

Fished today with 19 other anglers aboard the Pursuit. The Pursuit does the 3/4 days runs out of 22nd St. Landing in San Pedro. Once again I took advantage of the $45 dollar Wednesdays, they are currently promoting. After getting bait at the bait receiver, the boat is pointed towards the east end of the island.

The bonita were scattered and difficult to locate.

I was lucky and caught a few bonita today.

The surface action was really slow, so anglers spent their fishing time on other species of fishes. Rick was able to catch several nice sheephead.

Gus on the other hand had a blast on the half moon.

Dalton was able to get one of the few legal calico bass today.

Fishing was on the slow side, but people made the best of it.

Overall the fishing was really slow. The crew worked really hard and made several moves through out the day, but the bite never really took off. We'll get them next time. Thanks for reading and goodluck on your next fishing adventure, Pokerface.
