Channel Islands Captn Hooks 7-28-08 ( Late Post )
My two Cousins and I left out of Channel Islands Captn Hooks fishing charter on the 28th and had a blast. As the picture shows is was perfect glass in the morning till around Noon-1 pm. The skipper was dead on the fish till the winds picked up and the sun came out to shine. We fished deep down and pulled out many different kinds of rock fish. The boat wasn't packed at all so there was plenty of room to fish and when tie ups occurred the crew was spot on and had you either undone or retied in no time.
After the bite died on the rock fish we moved for about 30 minutes and relocated to a Calico and Sand Bass spot. I had been bringing up fish all morning till we hit hear and I'm sure it was because I didn't have the right gear. It laid dormant for about 30 minutes until I had a huge pull and my line started to peel out. I fight for 7 minutes or so on my tuna rod and up comes something gray on top and beige on bottom. I'm thinking GREAT! a Halibut! A few more minutes go by and when I get a better look and I'm about to yell for a gaff it turns out its a 3.5-4ft shark. Not sure of the make n model because as I'm looking in shock the line snaps and off he/she goes free. After that I had nada but I was happy with the 6 keepers I had from the morning.
Grand total fish count was 16 keepers for me and mine. We had many dinks that didn't make the cut but made a sea lion very fat.
JP - 6
Bobby - 6
JT - 4
All in all a great day and a lot of fun messing around.
