back to snapping this morning
the bite was back on this morning
smaller 40-60lb models around the backside of clemente working current breaks mostly trolling paddies are empty
off of santa barbara island there
are limits going for a couple of private boats all toads 120+
one guys been on since 430 am and still fighting hard
fish where on meter marks hooked on soaking macks
water is 64-66 and purple cleaned up nice from that last low
they have been on their fish for more than 12 hours and still waiting to even see what it is
they got it on straight 200lb mono with a 1200lb leader on a forged 18 0 hook
so the fish isn't going to be busting free too easy
they are lucky that the weather has stayed good also
340lb broadbill
took them 19 hours and towed them 30 miles
said they never saw it until they got it up to the boat
stormy crappy weather but somehow plenty of 63-65 degree water lots of bait and 60-100lb bluefin swimming 35 miles from the beach
fish still hanging around between the ismus and santa barbara island
for the beginning of december not bad
nobody is really out looking for them except a few boats both
commercial and sportboats and they're still getting them
