Southern Cal Half Day Out of Pier Point Landing Late Post 6/15/15 VIDEO with Action

[troutmastahh]

Went out on the Southern Cal out of Pier Point Landing in Long Beach. Caught the Pm trip because at the time the Am reports weren't too good. First spot is when i hooked up into the Yellowtail in the video. In total i hooked up 4 times and lost 3 fish, all felt considerably bigger than the 1st fish. Lost them due to my reel, it seemed like the level wind was not cooperating with me and it spooled the line on poorly causing the line to snag on itself and the drag locked up. Oh well though, already going to buy a new reel before i go out again. I was spooled up with 30lb blue power pro and had maybe a 6 or 7 foot seaguar fluorocarbon leader, im almost certain i hooked up 4 times due to the light line, i was fishing a live sardine with a mustad live bait hook and a half ounce egg sinker. In total the boat had 37 anglers and 19 Yellowtail were caught. I'll be going back out on friday. Hope you enjoy the vid! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLD5sOh7oLY

Wow, lot of respect out there, that guy just walking under you while your pulling on your fish, I'll stick to Private boats. good fishing makes people do some stupid things i guess.

That vid really reminds me of the frustration of fishing a party boat, I surely recognize for many that's the only option and I say more power to them, I used to love it,just like the private skiff action a lot more now,WTG on your nice tail.

You make a really good point about "GOOD FISHING" will make people lose their minds. At least on the sport boats you have a captain and crew trying to keep things under control. (Personally I think they do a decent job of that!!) However, the small skiffs or pots as I like to call them, have "NO ONE CONTROLLING THEM!!!!!" Some of their behavior goes beyond common courtesy or common sense!!!! If I had a video camera on the 7-8 trips I've been on this month, and had the intention of filming the pots behavior after a sport boat shuts down on some fish. I could have the "KING" of all blooper videos. What's even better, if it was seen through out the nation. People would be saying, "there right about them people in Californiania." They really do come from the state of Fruits and Nuts." lol

Nice Catch. You have much more patience with being on a party boat than I would have at my age. I appreciate my own boat more today watching your video. When we have 4 flylines out it makes me nervous on my boat I would be having a fit on the party boat.

Thanks for sharing God Bless and Tight Lines
