Out this morning/day with my bro-in-law...
Launched from Davies... Checked on live bait -- only had HUGE 'dines. Like 10" long... passed on that.
Made a huge loop (35 miles+ total).
First stop: troll from bait barge to jewfish N rocks. Picked up 1 small bonito on Xrap trolling at 7mph.
Nothing showing at the rocks.
Second stop. Jewfish S. Nada.
Third stop: HorseshoeN/S Nada.
Fourth stop: Stone Reef -- picked up a sardine of all things!
Fifth stop: 150 Tryee Reef West. Nada.
Sixth stop: scupin hole-- 19 really nice sized sandabs! Actually caught them on decent sized hooks (2/0) with squid strips
Seventh stop: just north of 150' spot... there were a bunch of private boats parked here. Not sure why. Nothin doing on meter or bottom.
Eighth spot: 150 Kelp North -- one mackerel.
Ninth Spot: Bolsa Chica Artificial Reef -- nothing. Metered TONS of activity (blacksmith?) on bottom... ended up feeding squid to whatever it was.
Final spot: Sand Bass Junction -- 1 mackerel.
Hot day -- especially for November... H20 was 64 at surface, air in the high 70's to mid 80's.
Where are the fish??
