Hey guys this is my first Saltwater report I hope that it is adequate.
We started off on the 7:15 Cat Express out of San Pedro. What a ride. Moves just a little too fast for trolling. Got to Avalon @8:30. The water was clear and beautiful just as I remember it from when I was diving there before.
My son, TubeNtoo was amazed at all the little fishies there at he docks and immediately started to rig up. I told him that we couldn't fish in that spot. There would be too many big boats in and out and they would tangle up his line.
His patients paid off and he started with the first catch of the day. A 1 1/2lb Calico. Please see attachment. I tried to get him to look at the camera but he did say that this was going to a fishing site and only the fish had to
.
We did get quite busy even though there were'nt too many fish biting. After that pic, the wife took the camera. So we were left to just fishing. There were a few more Calicos in the area as well as Opeleyes. Mackerals kept hanging around and were sporting a generous 5lb sticker on them. We also had a run in with a couple of small yellow tails. Really small though. TubeNtoo also caught a Sculpin. He thought it was cool looking until I told him to be carerful of the spines. There was also a good size school of Bonita hanging around the island. We were doing the salty fly swater on them. Lots of fun.
We caught the 6:45 boat back to San Pedro.
