One halibut and a barracuda

Terrible fishing today.  Possibly related to the full moon.  We were on the fish with the right bait.  They just weren’t hungry.  No pictures today.  Sorry.

15 sea bass, 2 halibut and 3 barracuda. Wide open!

All the way to San Nicolas for two halibut

Nothing like burning $400 worth of diesel fuel to catch two fish.  Sometimes you win…………  Not today.

One stinking halibut all day

Sometimes the fish win.  We tried hard.  Sorry, no pictures today.

Four halibut and a starry flounder

halibut6-28-11.jpgI was worried about this trip.  I have been on a run of bad luck with this family but today we scored.  All of our bait died but we caught plenty more squid and sardines.  Ended up with four nice size flatties and a starry.  Only took pics of two but you get the idea.

Two halibut, one barracuda, slow day

Fishing sucked today

Worked hard for a calico and a couple of barracudas.  Same place I have been cleaning up on big halibut.  No excuses,  That’s fishing sometimes.  No pics today.

Five big flatties and a barracuda

Great day today. Six nice halibut
