This was our last "regular" charter of the year. Once again, it turned out to be a really great trip. We had a very nice group on board - lots of guests this time - but a lot of fun people. The rising sun made for a beautiful sky.........
Lori was making sure all her guests were ready to go.
As we cruised out to the west side of Santa Cruz, we noticed a lot birds hovering in one area.
As we got closer, there were hundreds of seals chasing the bait in the water. It was so awesome to see the seals jumping out of the water like dolphins and the birds following every move. It looked like something on the Discovery Channel. It was truly a sight to see.
So the time came to drop our lines. As it has been all year, the fishing started out really slow. We tried for WSB and calico's, but none were to be found. So on to rock fishing. Some decent reds were brought on board and some nice blues as well.
No really huge fish were caught, but a nice ling caught my Jamie won the jackpot.
As you can see, all three generations were really proud of this fish.
One of our guests, Julie, caught her first fish ever.
The trip ended up being very nice as everyone came home with a decent amount of fish. All of our guests said they had a really great time and we enjoyed having them. Even though Lori had to keep him in line, Stuart, who won the men's jackpot, was very proud to wear our "ceremonial" fish hat.
I have to end this by saying I'm always blown away by how beautiful the Channel Islands are. Everytime we are out there, I realize how lucky we are that this is our "backyard". People pay a lot of money to visit here and we live here. It just doesn't get any better than this.
