A.M./New Del Mar 10-19-07

[Ambassadorhawg]

Today was the day that I introduced my daughter to sportboat fishing. We picked the New Del Mar for it's modern design, size and good service. We almost missed the boat but I called from on the road and Captain Danny waited several extra minutes for us to get there. See what I mean about good service??? Anyway, the fish of the day was SCULPIN! I was hoping for that because they usually bite very well. Today was no exception, either. They were lickin' on the squid strips. Alyssa caught about 4 with my help, most of them were the bigger models. We ended up with easy double limts. We then moved on closer to home and scratched away at a few bass, sheepshead and more sculpin. We fished in 100' or less, water temp was 61.5 and green. We also saw several short lings caught today, one was a keeper. But Mr. Billy-Goat took the JP honors. Can you say "ba-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-"? I also got a few licks on the duck but nothing stuck. She and I did not fish the whole time. We moved around on the boat and watched others fishing, watched the jets taking off from LAX and watched seagulls, pelicans and sea lions. I pulled up a piece of red seaweed and she played with that for a spell, too. Anyway, the trip was a success, Alyssa loved it and the crew and food were great.

Good Job on the introduction on the salt Mike, Glad you guys shared a little quality time. I remember when I took my daughters on a rattlesnake hunt I was a little reluctant at first but luckily nobody got stung... on the very next trip a sclupin pierced through my boot though. anyways, wasn't the water perfect today? Hit me up whenever mike let's go kill em soon.
