Red Drum

Took my little aluminum 15ft Duroboat “Red Drum” out for a morning fishing trip with Sherman aka “bajapaddyhopper”, in the Santa Monica Bay.
Sherm wanted to try some crank baits, so I took him to some shallow spots, and he immediately got a hook-up on a nice Calico Bass.

After seeing Sherm get a quick hook-up, I asked him if I could try one of his crankies. Sherm obliged, and two casts later, I hook a scrappy Lattice Bass on the crankster…sweeet! Thanks for letting me borrow your crank bait Sherm!

Then Sherm hooks a big Bully Bass. Way to go Sherm!!

Then we went out to deeper water and fished the swim baits.

Mr. Checkerboard was “cajoled” into chewing my Basstrix swim bait with a VS jig head.

Mr. Sandoval was “suckered” into slurping down my Basstrix swim bait.

Mr. Gold Nose was “gullible” into gulping down my Basstrix swimbait…sweeeet!

Mr. Kelp Bass was “bamboozled” into biting my “Basstrix” swimbait.

After the Bass bite slowed down, we Critter fished for a couple hours.

Last but not least, a traveling Triggerfish.

Had a super-fantastic fishing trip with Sherm, who is a great, enthusiastic and "fun to fish with" fisherman. Can’t wait to get back out there again. HOOK-UP!!
Till next tide,
