It all started 2 weeks ago (Saturday 6/22) when me, Carlos and Jimmy fished on the spitfire out of MDR and Capt. Jeremy put us on the Calicos. Fishing horse sardines that were on roids, the 3 of us all caught double limits in a matter of about 2.5 hours.

All of them were of VERY nice quality - especially for our local fishery.
A few days passed. I was getting burned out from work so on late Thursday 6/27, I grabbed my surf gear and headed out to Santa monica pier w/my sand rake. The water was so warm. 90% of the sand crabs were soft shell, i honestly didn't even need my rake, i could have just scooped them up w/my hand and pinned them on. C-rig 8# fluorocarbon leader - pitched right into the break and got slammed by a pretty good sized Corb.

Every single cast produced a Bsp along w/this nice fish above.
Then on Saturday 6/29, Carlos and I went back to the Spit and saw some familiar faces. Our buddy Joe and Ray Ray were standing in line.
Joe and I -

On this day, Joe caught the big fish (8# Wsb) on a whole squid (on the sliding sinker).

And our buddy Ray-ray had the most consistent stick - landing about 8 legal calicos, mainly on the plastic.

I also ended up getting my limit of Checkerboards.

Exactly one week later (today) Saturday 7/6, Jimmy - Carlos and Myself made the long drive north to SEA Landing in Santa Barbara and fished the Stardust.
Yeah it's a long drive but oh-so worth the trek. The quality of the rockfish is always amazing at Santa Rosa Island. All 3 of us limited out and caught all kinds of species.

We killed it today. Fishing the drift from 200 - 275 feet. 12 oz sinkers. Double dropper loops or jigs.
