The attached photo is of a fish that came right up to our boat just after we put out the chum bucket. We saw this fish a week ago and then again Saturday. in about 10 minutes we had 9 of these fish around the boat. We attempted to catch one to measure and weigh it but none were interested in any offering we made. I am sure someone on this forum will know what it is...... None of the State salt water fish charts or books we have any reference to this fish.
Jean and i again had one of those unusual days where the conditions were perfect but the results were zero.
We fished 1 -2 miles out at the barber poles and the pipe. And We also went north of Dana Point 2 miles to Salt creek.
Air temp ( warmest this year ) near 80. Water temp 66.8 - 70.9
Calm waters all day. Like Glass
Depth 85 feet at the pipe / 55 feet at salt creek and 35 feet inside the kelp
The kelp was broken up with large open patches. First time this year we were able to fish deep into the kelp without getting tackle or anchor wrapped in kelp.
Bait 5in to 7in Sardines/ Frozen Anchovies, Frozen squid.
High tide at 10:38 Deep low tide by 5 pm when we got off the water.
Jean and I each had one big strike that sliced our line at the hook early on.
Then NOTHING the rest of the day.
We are going to go south this week to tressels and maybe San ofre.
Tight lines and God Bless.
