LBC 9/6 - I hate it when this happens!

[iethinker]

On Saturday 9/6, I set out of Alamitos Bay for Chafee Island and the Wall in search of Halibut. On the way across the channel I scored a few Mackerel for bait. I also brought some Gulp Jerkshad to try some deeper drop-shotting.

The executive summary of events is:

1. I'm tired of Halibut fishing because I just can't seem to get a legal one.
2. Yesterday, I caught zero Halibut.
3. Drifted various live Mackerel on the bottom for miles.
4. Drop-shotted the bottom for a few giant Lizard fish and something that pulled then left me with 1/2 of a lure. (photo below)
5. By mid-day the wind and chop was bad so headed back in to the Bay where I caught a dink Sculpin and a dink Turbot (photo below).
6. Called it a day after the sail boat training school made the place dangerous for anything on the water.
7. Taking a break today (Sunday)!

I hate it when this happens:

Enjoy!

Still better than Honeydoos. Patience, patience. Your day will come.

No bass fishing at the wall?

Nah...I'm all Basse'd out. I was targeting something to take home and eat with the family. While we have eaten our fair share of bass their slow growth rate makes me feel a bit guilty about it. Nevertheless some big Solana Beach Sand bass have proved to be amongst the best table fare.

Interesting, I didn't even know we had Turbot here. http://dfg.ca.gov/marine/mspcont8.asp

I caught a pretty good size CO turbot (sole) off Dana before, on plastic.

Those sail schools need to keep a better eye on their students. Last time on my way back in kids were cutting right in front of our boat and we had to slam it into reverse.
