Black Pearl Report
 

Departed Chanel Islands around 8:00 PM with only 4 passengers. Anchored up at Alberts on backside of Santa Cruz. Hoopnetted from 1:00-2:30 AM for nada. Moved to Cristy's and started kayak fishing around 8:00 AM. Fished down to Forni's for calicos, small rockfish and a short ling. Moved to front side and fished 2 miles west of Arch Rock to Arch Rock. Calico fishing picked up around 3:00 PM. Fished the MC Slug weedless in the kelp for some quality checkerboards. Water temp was 58-59. Had no finbait, used frozen squid. Beautiful weather at Alberts Anchorage at night; no wind and a gazillon stars. Light SE wind in the morning and moving to frontside a good call (flat calm). Thanks to Captain and crew of the Black Pearl for going the extra mile with only 4 passengers. bosco

no fin bait..that sucks...
that would seem to be one of the luxuries of the mothership gig...

oh well....artificials are more fun any how...
thanks for the report...

Ken thanks for the report, gonna call you for the details :D .........only 4! No bait at the receiver or Capt call with the light load? I was checking the weather out there yesterday and looked like you guys picked a good day.
