Tim March - Piru Large Mouth BassOn 9/27/09 Lake Piru was a slayfest. 1st cast a 3# topwater bass on the lunker punker set the tone. A full speed morning bite.
Bass a cast on crankbaits along rocky shorelines for awhile then moved into weedy coves for a decent topwater spook bite of two to three pounders.
Just after 11 am I set the hook on what becomes my personal best bass with a 6 inch robo on the dropshot. Jeff slides the net under her...the big healthy girl weighed 9.1 #s. We run for the ramp after boating 40 bass for the day.
Bass fisherman dream of days like this....

What's Up Guys,
Dave Rich and I escaped the heat and fished his rig last Thursday and yesterday. We started out around Chinese for one fish, then ran up the front and around to Christys for a couple more then we got a tip from a bro and made a late afternoon run across to Rosa where we got a couple of more good ones. We jammed back to Forneys for the night and rafted up with a couple of other boats and proceeded to bbq, put away a few jack n' cokes and talk story. The anchorage was pretty nice overnight but right outside the potato patch was in full effect with 6'-8' footers stacking up. The next morning we started out above Christys for one fish, then the sharks got on us quickly.
The channel to Rosa looked like it mellowed a bit so we shot across to Skunk pt and started fishing. The current was ripping against the wind which screwed up the drift, so we tied on 1 lb balls and power drifted with the kicker. This semi bounce ball deal was the shit!, over the next few hours we put on 11 more fish and just about plugged the boat. We had to meet the buyer at 2 so we stopped at 12 and blasted back down the backside. We ended up with a number of fatties, including a 43# (a new biggest for me) and a bunch between 25#-38#. 
Also, I went out on the 'Jack last Tues to Capa to try and find a yellow, I had one bite on the yo yo all day but it was a 33# yellow, so that was cool.Stoney
Gettin It Done. Another Great Report from the Northern Fishing Grounds. Thanks G

Yo Bob
On Saturday night we took some of our customers on our annual 1.5 day trip out of San Diego. We fished with Captain Pat Cavanaugh and crew aboard the Pacific Dawn. We headed out towards the SE corner of the dumping grounds; we never made it that far. On Sunday morning we started the day off with two albacore stops that produced ~15 albacore (nicer grade 20#) with the last bite around 11:00AM. We trolled the rest of the day in beautiful purple 70 degree water with little wind and no visible life: no birds or bait, not even a breaking fish. We stopped on several meter marks for no bites. Finally, at around 3:30pm we stopped on a meter mark and as soon as the chum hit the water we had several BFT hooked up. The first fish to hit the deck was the biggest; I would estimate it at easily over 50lbs.We stayed on these fish for over four hours. We put 38 BFT on the boat ranging from 30 to 50+ lbs for 13 guys. It sucked having to leave biting bluefin in perfect weather conditions. We also caught 4 smaller grade YFT. Great day on the water.
I ended up getting so BAC buttons on: 16, 20 & 30lb. My hats off the Pat Cavanaugh and crew on the Pacific Dawn for a great trip- these guys fish hard and are great fun. Todd
