Catalina and Offshore 8-23
Went out last Monday with Jaime and Robert. Got a couple scoops of sardines from Nachos and headed to Catalina Island. We tried several spots along the East end both frontside and back. Saw a few boils but didn't connect on anything except a batray. Decided to try offshore in the afternoon. Headed towards the 277 bank and found a few patties. The first two were dry but the third was jackpot. We caught 5 nice yellowtail and Jaime lost a nice dorado right at gaff. It shut down after that and we were unable to find any more holding. Tried back at the island again. Saw a few nice boils but could not get any bites except from sea lions which relentless at stealing our baits. Called it a day and headed in around 4pm. It was nice getting the boat out again I had to wait about 3 weeks to get it serviced, felt like 3 months!
