As the 2009 fishing season is winding down, Sunday's trip on the Aloha Spirit will go in the GCLA record books for huge red snappers. The sacks were bulging with these lovely specimans.
They were so big and beautiful, I just had to hold one up to the "Fishing Gods" to thank them for our bounty.
We actually started out on the hunt for white seabass, but they "spooked" us once again. They don't get the nickname of "GHOST" for nothing. There were a bunch of boats around us as well and a few lucky anglers were able to bring one on board, but it wasn't in the cards for us, so we took off for the "outer limits". As the morning progressed, we hit on some nice lings. About 9 beauties hit the bags and then we saw "RED" and lots of them. One right after another, along with some chilies, boscos, chuckleheads, and other rock fish. The weather was just perfect too - sunny and warm, and the water was flat. Just a great day to be fishing.
Many kudo's to Captain Shawn and crew - Jerry, Josh, and Kelly. They always ROCK !!! As you can see from these pics - we all got limits and came home with very happy sacks.
And of course, many congrats to Barb for winning the jackpot with this fabulous fish.
You can't beat spending the day with all your friends and fellow anglers, having a great time, enjoying the weather, and best of all - catching quality fish like this. It just doesn't get any better !!
