10 miles south of Dana point Dorado
After a few disappointing trips chasing Tuna we Went out Saturday planning on doing some halibut fishing around the domes. At the Bait barge we heard a transmission about Dorado at 13/39. We decided to head there first. Bait was mixed Sardines/ Macs. Choppy water very little swell temp at the harbor 68.5 at the 13/39 70.8. Only had one rigged for fly lining. My wife got that one out .. I got 2 others ready and put those out. 2 minutes later ----- Bang All three drags screaming.
When just my wife and I are on the boat we both start to bring in the fish and the one who sees color first gets the help with Gaff or Net.
My wife brought in the first 15 lb Dorado. Of the two left in the holders --we bot one in and lost one. From about 10 - 3 pm it was wide open within about 30 - 50 yards drift from the patty. The patty was no bigger than dinning room table. After a while there were about 7 private boaters. Nobody pushed any body out and all were respectful of the opportunity. All caught fish. We had a great time. Ran out of Macs and were not getting much on the Sardines. Went in with 7 fish 10-18 lbs and lost 8 for various tackle and position reasons. God Bless and Tight lines
