It has been awhile since I posted. My friend Jon asked to me to run his boat. We went looking for the yellows in the morning. Did not work out as planned. We were not the lucky ones today. None of the paddies we checked had anything on them. All we could show for it was $300 in gas.
I tried to salvaged the day by going back inshore to the coastline for the midday seabass tide swing. Like clockwork, they bit again. Went 1 for 2.
After the seabass went through, it was almost noon. Had to be back at the dock in a couple hours. We were not too far from the Dana Point hard bottom. So I decided to end the day with I do best, local codding. Since I already wasted 300 bucks in gas, mind as well pull out the Grade A local cod numbers. Jumbo size Reds with some minor by catches. Limited out quick and headed home.
Lots of boat traffic. I hate fishing weekends, especially holiday weekends pictures for you:

Making sure we are not over limit.
One for the day. What a waste of gas.
Have a safe weekend. See you all next time.
