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.
