San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

We shoved off the dock on time with a load of bait and Brandon putting on a head of steam towards the west southwest. We did most of our drifts in 4-600 ft with a pound of lead due to lack of current. My largest was probably 3 pounds with a few coming up a bit bigger. I saw a few folks that came ...

Just got off the Mission Belle. Landed 4 between 25 and a touch over 30, all fly line baits. 3 on the 70 year old jigstick and one on the 60 year old trueline. Tight lines and following seas my friends...

Left the dock with Captain Frank in the galley and head deckhand Riley in the wheelhouse, it was his first trip at the helm. Grabbed bait and made the steam due west towards the zone.
