Yesterday I took my client Mark out on his 26 ft Skipjack, "My Girl". Mark wanted to learn some spots on the coast. He had been fishing for the past 20 years along the California coast and just wanted to pinpoint a few spots and better learn his electronics.
We stopped at the bait barge to see what kind of bait they had. Jeff said they were out of bait but since my family owns the bait barge he could give me a scoop and a half of anchovies. So it was off to the red buoy at Dana Point to catch some Spanish mackerel. They were biting really well and we put 25 in the bait tank in about ten minutes. Then we took off down south to look for conditions to fish sea bass. There were no conditions to be found so I told Mark we could fish for some halibut until somebody told me they found some conditions (captain's on the sport boats in Dana Point) they would let me know what they found. So we went to a spot off of San Onofre were I used to catch halibut. It was pretty wide open. We ended up with five legal halibut, a 37, 22, 12 & two 8 pounders.
If you would like to learn how to better utilize your boat, where and how to catch fish, give me a call, Captain Dave Hansen 949-374-0786.
