The New Del mar 6/22/21

Hit up the New Del Mar yesterday, the morning trip provided sculpin limits for the 30 or so people abord. Sand dabs also came aboard as a bonus. Weather was overcast until about 11:30 am. We used 8 oz of weight to get down to the fish. I stuck around for the afternoon ride. Again sculpin were featured until the whitefish showed up and produced 3/4 limits for most anglers. Rock fish represented with salmon grouper, red snapper, and one nice red that I caught for a total of about 6 rockfish for the boat. The crowd was chill and I only received one tangle. We used frozen squid for bait and some used assorted plastics rigged with a 3 oz jig head and the heavy sinker. Rod weight ratings must be wrong because I saw people fishing with 12 oz of weight on a 4 oz rod. A good time was had by all, even the people with hang overs from the night before that just came to "feed the fish" and sleep.

Sounds like fun! Tasty sculpin! Thanks for the report.

Great report, Thanks for sharing, Weird thing is I have been on 3 rockfish trips this year, and the captain and deckhands said there wasn't any tangles on boat.
Thanks for post!!
