I’m going to make this a quick report. With exotics being caught close to Redondo during the week and the day before, we headed out to try hard at the chance of a swim through. We started out with a wind against current condition, so we picked away at the misc. bottom critters while we waited. I fished a light leadhead with a live squid for most of the day. A nice ling was also pulled up from the depths. Later on, we fished a spot where we saw some calicos boiling on the surface, in addition to some short barracuda. Some guys pulled out some legal calicos on the fly lined sardine. At this spot, I caught a ling that turned out to be a ½ an inch short, and someone else also caught a short ling. After this, we moved on to fill the bags with some sculpin, and just about every one we pulled up was a nice one. We also caught quite a few reds, with some of them of really nice size. After limiting out on sculpin, we tried for the exotics again, but the current wasn’t quite right, and nothing doing besides seeing a little yellowtail swim by. Conditions were funky, but the water was fairly warm and there was a ton of other life. Below are the pictures of some of the critters we picked up. Great times, great fishing!
