I took the “Big Drum” out for a weekend trip with my good friend Mike and his friend Joe from his work. We fished out of Channel Island Harbor for a nice of assortment of Rockfish and Calico Bass. I hadn’t done a full weekend trip in quite sometime, so I was really looking forward to doing a lot of fishing and just having a relaxing Summer Solstice weekend.
Here I am with a nice Whitefish.
Bunch of tasty bottom critters.

Here I am with the ubiquitous Bocaccio aka Stinky Wormaccio.
Here I am with a nice VR caught on the plastic…sweeeet!!
Here is Joe with a big Giant Kelpfish, caught on a swim bait. I’m kicking myself for not submitting that fish for a California State record. Ole Joe could have had his name in the record book.
A cool blow hole at Anacapa Island.
Had an awesome time on the water and Mike and Joe said that they won’t be forgetting this trip anytime soon. I can’t wait to get back out on the water again. HOOK-UP!!
Till next tide,
