Dana Point 5/16
Saturday 5/16:
Launched at the ramp a little after sunrise and made my way to the buoy off the point. Marked lots of fish and dropped sardines down for a few calico and sandy hookups. After a while I switched to flylining sardines because the calico were schooling at the surface. It was awesome watching these guys chase the bait around on the surface like a mini foamer! Lost count after about a dozen or so. Most were under size, but there were a handful around 16-18". Every once in a while I sent down the dropshot to change it up and got 2 decent sculpin. Once live bait was running low I went inshore towards the rocks. Used a double dropper setup with frozen shrimp on the treble hook and got a larger sculpin just over 14", a little surf perch and a couple more calico. Totals Calico: 15-20 Sand Bass: 3 Sculpin: 3 Surf Perch: 1 Everything released |
