First time on open boat party, I decided to go with Newport Landing. Since they had a half day trip that starts at 12:30 pm. Also on website had costs of renting rod, tackle, license. Trip started on time about 25-30 people fishing. My group of 3 and I had a bad spot on boat, we were on the side the entire time. They never rotated spots. Our bait was frozen squid and live anchovies. First spot we stopped at no luck, didnt see any one catch a single fish. Wasn't til third spot everyone seemed to being catch fish here and there. Mostly sand bass about 20, saw'll 1 barracuda, and 2 sheepheads. I got 2 sand bass, my friend 1, and two others nothing. We spotted up next to another fishing boat twice. Seemed like a waste of time going out from Newport if we just ended up fishing in Long Beach. Next time I go fishing I will pick a boat out of Long Beach. With an hour to go an old man hooks a 12 year old girl in the face, because he was overcasting. There was a couple of guys overcasting on boat before that happened, some not even looking behind them. She needed medical attention so we headed back, everyone on the boat got free trip. I was disappointed in trip thought we'd catch a lot more fish especially after looking at the fishing counts. The crew was great very helpful and everyone on boat was cool and easy going. Got a violent sunburn, my face looks like a cherry tomato. I hope next trip I go I will have caught fish worth posting. Finally
O1200 hrs overcast and birds moving, puff your chest out, loose lines, one million fish and counting this year, I caught a world record fish but have dont have any pics of it, and etc... :Idea:
