Long Beach 5/20

[fishkiller951]

Son and I were suppose to go out Tuesday, but so saw snotty weather conditions and moved it to Wednesday. Launched out of South Shore about 7:00. I decided to drag a small Rapala on the way out and instantly get hit by a smelt. Drop the rapala back in and get small halibut. Now I can let my son know I got the skunk off. Start fishing along the rocks for a few spotties, calicos and sandies. Son gets his skunk off. Noticed no cruise ship docked, so round the corner and start fishing the pylons. 3 straight casts and son has 3 keeper bass. Time for dad to stop talking smack. All larger grade of fish there. Getting windy and head back to rocks by QM. Halibut decided they wanted to play. Got one 22" and one 24" and some shorts. Few more bass and a cabezon. Decide to call it a day and back at ramp at 2:00.
