The 2nd stop (near Malibu was quite slow). Good trip overall and next time I think I will do much better now that I know what technique/setup to use!
One thing that pissed me off was that someone took my calico out of my sack! At the end when I was ready to get it filleted, the deckie said there was only a perch in my sack. He told me that this happens quite often as people help themselves if fish aren't biting all that well. The jackpot also seemed sketchy as they had the winning bass for about 10 minutes and out of no where some dude pulls out a monster which no one saw him catch... hmmmm... you be the judge.
happy fishin'!
PS I'll have some pics next time!
