GCLA on the Sea Biscuit

We were very excited for this trip with scores of Seabass and Halibut filling the counts as of late.....but weather, as usual, was throwing us a bad hand. We boarded and hunkered down for what was promising to be a rough ride out..... And it was, but I kept thinking...It will be beautiful tomorrow....at least thats what iWindsurf was saying

Woke up to glass conditions and not much current, but the bite started off with a short Seabass and a couple of missed bites so we were hopeful...Fred caught a big log of a slime and Marion hooked a nice 32 pound flatty and that kept us amped up enough to stay there trying for a while. Fred ends up coming through with a decent Seabass on the lead head, that would be our only one for the day.

After a while we got bored with no bites and took off to Bobby's whitefish honey hole. This spot bit and what a blast we had....Huge whitefish ripping drag and tons of hootin' and hollerin' erupted as the girls and a few guests put the wood to a great variety....Ling cod, sheephead, whitey, and even a few big reds ate the squid....

We tryed to go out and fish the deep spots for rockfish, but we gave up on that quick as the seas were just too gnarly out of the lee of the Island. Back inside for a few drifts that did not produce much and we wrapped up a gorgeous day on the water..

Sounds like they killed them today...Freakin seabass....always better the day before or the day after....

Great time and great company made for a great day on the water. Special thanks to Capts Bobby and Matt, Scott and JJ on deck and of course Jonathan in the Galley for taking such great care of us as usual.

Haida carvings in Hydaburg

getting ready to go fish

Our fist day on the water was a 1/2 day and we left at the liesurly hour of 9 am
Biff and I were on this trip with his cousin Robert of Utah. ( Robert was best man ot our wedding)

Haida carver and me

On the first day the kings were slow so we decided to go and get the rock fish limits out of the way,  our buddy Nils was on board and hooked this nice halibut and handed it to Biff to bring up- turned out to be 125# a new pwesonal best for the Biff!

We were jigging off the bottom mostly for the Yellow Eye, Lings and Halibuts,  I thought this was a nice  Ling about 20#or more.

 Then the kings started to bite, there was a lot of pressure on the salmon grounds, so getting our limits was not easy, it was drizzly and cold out and there was an army of commercial trollers out too.

That is why we were smiling so big to get the kings, felt like reall success against the odds

Here are the size hooks used for rock fish with some of the herring used in mooching for the salmon on the table behind my hand

This is the nice stinky salmon guts used for the halibut and rock fish.

This is Robert, Biff's cousin and a 40# Ling Cod

 Here is one of the group shots on the dock back at the lodge.  the smaller fish we are holding are silver (coho) salmon.  They bite like firecrackers and jump all over the place.
We fished 3 and 1/2 days in all, each uf us came home with 3 boxes of fish a piece

Going out with Stussman Tomorrow, keep me in your prayers!

Anybody want to go on the Aloha spirit this Saturday, they caught there limits of WSB on Fathers day

Mirage 2 Day

2 DAY On The MIRAGE

While all of  the GCLA gals were whooping it up at  Anneye's house.    I was watching the sun go down over Santa Rosa Island.  WE were ending the first day of a 2 day fishing trip on the Mirage,  I say we there were 17 of us plus the crew and Andrew brought his wife - Cynthia to help prepare and serve
meals.

We left on Monday night  and fished  Tuesday morning for the White SeaBass that have been sporadically showing up - but not for us on this day.  So with the weather looking good and the Navy out of the way Captain Tucker took us out to "Jurassic Park"  and we got the nicest ling I have seen since I was there 4 years ago.

After we got our limits on the Lings we went to another spot in the area and pulled up the biggest reds I have ever seen.

This is Daniel , age 12, already a pro fisherman and a veteran of the 2-day plus- and a heck of a nice young man.

Well no good fishing trip is really complete without the Stussman on board.  Jerry managed to break 2 poles on this trip and all the records for the amount of bull *(%# a man can come up with.

Also on this trip was Scott from the VSC and we squared off in preparation for the  competition at the end of the month.  I was trying to put on a stern face but everyone kept busting me up.

So I tried another approach- Andrew handed me the bat and I contemplated knocking our competition out.

Scott is OK - I didn't do it, but I have to say fishing with Scott and  Gary L for 2 days they are pretty good.  I think we just have to rely on the fact that the fish like us better.

Go GCLA !!!!
