The annual family trip to Leo Carrillo was a blast as always.
This year I wanted to step up the fishing and try to target some big game surf fish. I went to no other than the S.W.A.T for suggestions. Wingnut was quick to put his man Bones to work and I want to
Thank you both for help me out. Especially Bones(Mike) for all the Intel you gave me and the follow up.
The plan was to hit up some of the rugged beaches up in the area, targeting the halibut and calicos in the surf. The plan and the Intel was spot on, but the fish forgot that it was game day and did not show up. My good friend Doug and I hit up 3 beaches north of Leo in the morning and two south of it mid morning. Unfortunately for us, the surf was absolutely unfishable with the ell grass and kelp pieces being littered heavily all up and down the coast. We gave it a good effort none the less, but the LC’s were catching up on the grass 99% of the time. All the efforts resulted in one perch a nasty spill with a rock and some sore legs to follow. None the less, I must say thank you to the SWAT for the generous help and getting me in line for future surf missions. The weekend of course was not wasted and I was able to spend some good time with my beautiful wife and daughter and some great friends of ours.
On Sunday, I took my little one down to the beach north of LEO for some fun catching some decent sized perch. She had a blast and did a great job reeling in these guys.
Later in the day, it was time to relax, play some games and watch the awesome sights.
I know not much of a fish repot, but the time and experience was awesome.
Here are some pics for your enjoyment. Awesome sunset pics. Sorry, new to posting pics.
