My neighbor and I managed to trick our old ladies into letting us go fishing Sunday morning. We met out front of the houses at 4:45am and headed to the harbor. We got a scoop of Sardines before the mob of boats got there and we were off. We headed straight south to the San O power plant. We fished inside the kelp a little bit but did not get any action. About an hour into fishing we moved close to one of the party boats to take advantage of their chum power and then all hell broke loose.
:P
It was wide open Barracuda for about three hours. Most of the Cudas were legal size logs that were pulling hard.

We got about 25-30 logs into the boat and lost 50-75 either by the boat or snapped lines.
My neighbor Casey with a nice one.

We caught most fish on Fly Lined sardines but when the bait ran out we went to the iron. My buddy Casey used scrambled eggs and white irons but was not getting bit like the mint green. We were fly lining with 10-15 pound mono on Calcuttas and the Cuda's were giving us a lot of action.
I was throwing iron on my Torium 20 spooled with 25 Ande mono. This set up with the mint iron was the call today.
We were the first boat to arrive this morning but we were soon joined by about 500 of our closest friends. There were so many boats out there today but with all of the fish being caught the mood was great. You could hear the stoke all around. There was about 4-5 Dana Wharf boats, 3 Newport Landing boats, and 50 or so private boats.

I pulled in four sand bass off of cut squid near the bottom but with all of the top water action it was hard to stay away from the fun logs.
Excellent day of fishing and all fish were released.....
:D
