The weather has been hot and this weekend so was the fishing! Roberto joined me for a full day fishing trip this past Saturday. We started out bottom fishing for spot. We have been catching some really nice big spot. They did not disappoint this day either. We used a mix of blood worms and fish bites in blood worm flavor. We bailed spot for 2 hrs some 2 at a time. Michele the fisher girl even got a 12 1/4 white perch. That’s huge! Roberto also got a 22 inch channel catfish. Nice perfect diner size! After the tide died out the bite slowed way down. We had a few small spot that we kept to live line for Rockfish. So off we went. Our first stop was an old light house ruins. It’s a perfect spot for Rockfish but they aren’t always there. Unfortunately they have tails that they like to use to swim around. They love to make you work for them. We put out 2 lines with live spot and the wait began. We dropped the bottom rigs over also just see to if anything else was willing to bite. This spot can be good for catfish sometimes also. Me being impatient and not 1 willing to wait for the fish to decide to bite I pulled out a rod with a top water lure. The wind was perfect causing the boat to lay stern to the rocks on anchor. I had my doubts they were there. They usually bite pretty quick when using live spot if the current is moving and it was. First cast as I worked the lure past the corner I had a blow up. Then another and then another. He just didn’t take it. I cast back and on the 2nd blowup he came tight. I handed the rod off to Michele who fought the fish just like I instructed and she was reward with a nice 22 inch Striped Bass. Next cast bam fish on I handed the rod to Roberto and he had a fat 18 1/2 incher. Back he went as the size limit is 1 fish per person 19-24 inches. I asked who wanted to learn how to do it. Michele was first up. I showed her how to work the lure and she was getting multiple blow ups but they just wouldn’t come tight. She got tired so I asked who else wants to try Roberto was up next. It didn’t take long and he was hooking up constantly. The ladies and his nephew didn’t want to cast so he would hand the rod off to someone when he hooked up. After 2 hours of non stop action they had their 6 fish limit. With many many throw backs over the 24 inch mark. The biggest was a 28 1/4 incher. With a limit finished and time to spare we went back and bottom fished some catching more spot and white perch. We ended the trip with them taking home a lot of fish. They had 92 spot all over 8 inches 12 white perch, 1 catfish, and 6 rockfish! The have enough fish for quite some time. Rockfish season close on the 15th and reopens on Aug1. Will be targeting bottom fish during that time. Then pick back up hopefully where we left off with Rockfish . Summer is going fast so book a trip before it’s to late.
