Sat 4/21 boat report npt,lbc,PICS

[POSTAL]

Hello all we went out on sat satrted out in newport harbor for a few catches then headed out to lbc to the break wall .On the way out to the wall we had motor trouble so I ended up rebuilding the carb out on the sea haha I allways carry a full tool bag every trip ...good thing .That was the quickest floating rebuild I have ever done .Had some nice dirt blockage .Well after that we got to the wall and it was still glassy and man the wall gave it up again !!!!We scored some of the biggest fish we have ever caught at the wall of all species .I also caught what looked like a big slug I have not ever caught one before and dont know what it is ?I thought I had seaweed on my line and pulled out a slug haha I actually hooked it in its mouth not a snag I was jigging and it grabbed my bait .Anybody know what it is ??Well here are some pics enjoy ..Ps sammy the seal was napping in my pals sailboat so we got a great shot of him :wink: I only posted a few pics I ended taking around 40.The last pic has to be a new bass record!!

I used to clean the hull of that boat with the sea lion on it.

Forget about the sea squirt. Look at those fish you caught!!!!

Maybe it was the fuel on your hands that attracted all them fish.

Lucky you are good with engines. Could have ended up on the jetty.

Thanks guys I actually forgot to add I had the biggest cabby I have ever caught .That sucker hit my bait like a ton of bricks and started winding out my drag !!!I only had 6lb test so I was trying to go easy be he kept headin for the rocks and I was just trying to keep him out of the rocks .After a 5 min battle everytime he saw the boat he dashed again and the last dash I fought back to hard and lost him...my line snapped :cry:I guess the fuel on the hands was the fish attractor of the day I have plenty if anybody wants to buy some !! :wink:

[Fresh One !!!]

Hey Postal,

Its on there I swear haha .every pic of my I was sitting in front of the motor it was mounted behind me so its blocked in the pics ..I will have to post a pic of my whole fishing set up now its allmost complete !! :wink:
And brian gsc we only use gulp baits on my boat haha catch way more fish than real bait .
There was a boat just down from us on the wall they were using squid and not catching much at all!!!We kept pulling them in one after another laughing every time as the guys were looking over at us every time we were yelling pulling them in one after another hahaha !!

[one_leg]

Triple 502's

Big GM's make a boat move that's for sure.
Three of em's gotta be insane!

Blown too! You almost gotta own your own oil well to keep that thing fueled up. VrrrrrrooooooooommmmmmmM!

[hookemdano]

Great report and pics! :thumb:

That boat looks like it's right off the showroom floor - great job restoring it! I wish I was that talented. I particularly like the chrome exhaust - nice touch.

Just one suggestion - you might want to get another net with small holes, or just use it for fish that you're sure are keepers. If you look at the pic of the halibut, the net split his tail in several places. He might've swam away, but most likely he'll be floating soon. You can get a better net at Sport Chalet or Turner's.

Again, nice report - you always post some great pics.

[one_leg]

I forgot to say, "Great Job on you Cobalt".

I could ski behind that thing for sure.

[POSTAL]

hookemdano I understand about the big net thanks for the tip,I only us that net once and a while Prob only used it 2-3 times on keepers .The butt looked bigger on the way up we have been waiting on a keeper . :banana: the net gets in the way more then does us any good I should get a smaller one tho but mine was free :wink: .One leg I can pull you in the tube behind the boat and put you into a 100 mph whip and see how long you can hold on hahahaha :twisted: .My pal thought he could hold on and he got about 15 ft in the air and did 15 cartwheels across the water :shock: He was ok dont worry :D.Thanks for the props guys I enjoy making the reports and we all love pics !! :thumb:

[Crappie Slayer]

Were you guys on the inside or outside of the wall? I am heading out this weekend and going to try the wall and the rigs. Live bait or plastics?
Thanks
