Launched out of Davey's in Long Beach. Lined up 25 boats deep out at the bait barge, and listened to the pump crap out after about 20 minutes in line.
So we went to plan B...fished the wall with plastics and lures. After picking off a few, we headed out and used cut bait for bottom fishing.
Bingo, I nabbed a nice Sheephead, who really gave me a good fight on my super old school Truline / Penn small boat rod setup! It was a blast!
