After Saturday's Castaic Launch Ramp of Hell afternoon, Me and Gary decided to mix up the striper slayage up a bit.
We planned the trip at around 4:30am to catch both of the high tides, one at around 6:00am and the next one at about 3:30pm. It didn't happen,,,lol,,, Me and gary overslept hahahahaha. We launched my new 13' Skiff at around 9:00am or so and got to the infamous bird/seal s*** jetty.
Gary started off as the 30 casts or less Legal hunt. We first started off just going for the flatties. At around the 4th he got a sandbass and a few others after.
I then hooked into a few bass as well (n000b of the day,,lol,,).
Then we saw Bob, Cutbait, Trailblazer, and Kewly having some fun!
After we were fishing next to some Small kelp patties and double BENDOOOOOO on Gary's 7'6" Crucial! Damn it was a huge (Bull Calico?) and his reel was just peeling line then the fish went into the rocks and Snap! WTF?
I think Gary was really Monstered up!!! (Lovin' the hat brotha!)
Then he landed another halibut just short of about 1-2in. but released carefully.
2nd shot!
Then double over BENDO. It was HUGE and it was peelin' drag like no other. But as fate has it, Snap. We suspected it was his line frayed from the other fished he missed. But Damn! it was approx. a 20lb.+ Halibut or a huge Sandbass, but fight was real dorsal. Again another fish kicked his a.$.$.
WTF???lol
A lizard fish on Gulp! ??
After we went looking for some Calicos and other bass. We moved on to another spot and Gary and I hooked into a few other bass. A calico!
Then a Sculpin!!!
A WSB Woohoo! lol
We got tired of fishing the jetty and decided to move on and troll home. Then Gary hooked into something with his LC Chartreuse Shad lure.
A lizard fish WTF?
Then a Sandbass hahaha Mixed Bag!
Another Lizard turd??
Then some Damn Slimesticks!(Barracuda!)
We afterward started fishing the Gulp a bit more and caught several Yellowfin Croaker! Fights were great and it was catching and releasing them.
We called it a day But it was fun and exciting testing out the 13' Gregor and 8hp Honda! Gary, It's always a pleasure fishing with such a slay machine!
