Guys,

We had a BERKLEY 'crew trip' Wednesday with Matt Barlow second relief captain running the IMPULSE out of Dana Landing. Onboard was Luc Ofield from Anglers Choice, Brandon Cotton from Fish Rap, Harry Okuda, Chris Marso, Erik LeVang, and myself. We left the landing at 6:15am- and ran up to La Jolla. Arriving on the grounds, the VOYAGER passed over a couple brails of live squid. The morning bite was a slow pick for the fleet. At 8:45am, we were bouncing white or scrambled egg Salas 6x jrs tipped with squid when both Harry and I got wired. Head shakes and dogged out runs to deep water - the sea bass were biting! Harry's fish went 38 lbs, and my personal best 46 lbs.

Ran back up to our numbers, and Brandon Cotton hooks a tanker bouncing a glow Salas 6x jr on #25 Trilene Big Game. We knew it was a slug but when 61.6 lbs of sea bass came over the rail- it was surreal! Just a tanker! On the bow, both Erik and I get wired again on the Salas 6x jrs, my fish comes unbuttoned, Erik gets his first sea bass ever- 43 lbs on Trilene Big Game #25. We fished through the tide and were back in the slip at 1pm.

Hell of a ½ day local trip- the IMPULSE is a sweet ride too.

Wow - That is an Outstanding Sample of CBass.

Like catching a Modern Day Dinosaur.
