Here are some photos my friend took of me at Palm Beach on Easter Sunday. It's a sequence of three images. We went to Palm Beach for an Easter picnic and ended up scoring warm water and super fun waves.

What's Up Guys,

I did a little fishing the past week at Las Cruces. They weren't exactly jumping in the boat, but if the wind let you get out to the good area and you put in the time with the jig, there were some good ones to be caught. As usual around there, we hooked into a few unstoppable beasts that ruined us in the rocks. The nuclear scrambled egg 6X Salas was a killer.

Some pics of my feet....

Well Done Stoney - - YoYomania down off Las Cruces. What a variety pack!!!!

Hay Bob, just got off the Options Saturday night. We fished the backside of Catilina, ended up with 2 legal seabass, 40 calicos, some sheep and sargo. Weather was great rain,thunder, lighting and hail started when we were done fishing. We lost 2 big mystery fish. I got my first seabass of the year, small but legal.

Nice Stew - - A Great Way to start off 2010
Thanks

Check out this cool Video the Gang at FishingVideos.com put together on board the Independence. Nice Shots of some quality Alijos Fish.

Yellows Yellows Yellow!!!!!!

Hey Gang

The yellows went off down off the Coronados for the 3/4 Day Boats. The Malihini, Voyager, and Mission Belle got a good whack on the 15 - 25 lb grade fish on the YoYo. Dust off the 700H and your 50 lb rigs. The Season has arrived nice and early.............

Hey Gang



Check out the Video Footage from up north resulting from the Tsunami Warning we just got this past Saturday. It was reported by my good fishing bud that the water level in Ventura Harbor rose 9 inches in 6 minutes - - Now that is a ton of water. Enjoy the footage

March 2010

Morning Gang

Hope life is treating everyone well. It's that time of year again with Cod Season just about to open and Fred Hall doing the annual show in Long Beach. The New thing for 2010 is the long awaited and ever so popular El Nino Weather Pattern. The water has been pretty warm off so cal and the wet winter conditions are really lining up for a real interesting 2010 fishing season. A nice snap of Yellowtail down off Colonet and Seabass catching up off Santa Cruz (and I don't mean the island) is the Buzz at the Landings.

If you can roll by the show in LB, make sure to say hi to Mike Naoe in the Vintage Antique Tackle Booth in the Arena Show Area, and go High 5 the American Angler Crew in the Main Hall.

Hope to See You There

Bob....an email i sent to Mike this eve, that had some pics from a local trip off some of our favorite stones. The sand bass fishing this "winter" has been phenomenal. Here are pics of one that topped 5 and another over 7.

Now who said bass don't bite in the winter. The fish that Jay is displaying, is a Tree Fish i guess. I think that's what he called it. It was whopper.


You guys are sure making real good use of the "Family Ride".!! Thanks for the report Mike.

Good News from the Offshore Grounds

FYI

Sea Adventure II skipper Terry Clayton was fishing for blackgill cod on a commercial trip last week when a spot of 15 pound albacore breezed down the side of his boat. Just as the school approached, one of the fish jumped clear out of the water. "I could see it's wings perfectly," said Clayton. This could be a sign of an accelerated season due to the warm El Nino waters. "This has to be a good sign for 2010," he said.

SCI Backside

Bob….Mike…. Not sure if you received this info from Jay or Stewart, but the 3 of us decided to head out to fish Catalina. After loading up with several scoops of squid in Long Beach around 3:30 am, we headed out on a flat windless ocean at 20 knots. After a few minutes, we realized that conditions would be ideal for heading to the backside of San Clemente Island instead. Indeed, conditions were very ideal and in fact, conditions were even more calm on the backside for some reason.

When we arrived, we found very little current but after a few minutes of metering a kelp bed area just past the tip, we decided to just drop anchor and we were rewarded with immediate wide open Calico bass fishing with many in the 3 to 5 pound range.

Interestingly enough, we were having this success amidst a population of baby seals (20-30) which seemed more curious at what we were doing. As a result of their plain curiosity and non-interruption with our candy baits, we limited out after about an hour of fishing and wound up sticking around long enough to catch and release at least another 30 to 40. Conditions were so good, we decided to switch to plastics just to try to get to some of the larger bass, but would up having little affect on the Calico’s aggressiveness. Eventually, we decided to pull anchor and try searching for some other species and actually wound up trying spots around the entire backside, winding us up for a return from the east end of SCI.

Attached are some pics of this memorable trip.

Check you guys out. Beautiful shots Mike.
