Black Pearl Report - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

bosco · 11-30-2008, 07:49 AM

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

Ken thanks for the report, gonna call you for the details

.........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.

A few 6xjrs is all I'm takin

Any one want to be on the stand by list, I have chartered the 'Pearl for a 2 day trip to the Channel Islands fishing the 27th and 28th of December. Limited to 12 people (already have 12 signed, couple are "maybes"), rockfish, whitefish, sheephead, calicos and maybe a big ol homeguard

. + hooping for lobster. $360 includes food and 2 FULL days fishing. Departing Oxnard at 10 PM on Friday returning late Sunday.
