Thanks to Barb and family for a fun day out on the Maximus. What a great boat, and of course excellent company with the ladies and families of some of our GCLA members. No WSB...darn!...but we tried and tried.
We started fishing around midnight in a beautiful moonlit spot off of Paradise Cove and the mackerel and squid were having a party, but the white sea bass weren't biting. It was calm ... but as the night turned into early morning it got colder and colder and most of us just couldn't stay awake. I made it to 4:30am and Barb was still at the rail with her brother and Jacob, but I was sleeping with my rod in my hand. I got up again at 6am to keep at it...and we were on the move. We found BIG reds...saw a beautiful whale...Anneye got a small halibut (18 inches) that she released at the end of the day in the shallows...and we saw a sunfish near our boat. Keith, Pat, John, Chas, Tony, and Stephanie were a great crew. Dogs Otis and Brutus kept our spirits up even when there was no bite. We had good food, even watched Jaws on the big screen (yes that boat got EATEN by Jaws! at 3 in the morning for those of us who were awake...), had lots of fun, and ended up with enough fish. ESPECIALLY Chris who got limits with her husband Aaron and son Randy. She pulled up the biggest red I've seen so far--and she got two gigantic ones with her biggest very close to 10 lbs.
Hope we'll get out on the Maximus ladies. Very comfy and great crew and captain. Thanks Keith!
