Catalina and SBI weekend - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

This moment alone was worth the price of admission, first saw them 1/2 mile away head in the other direction then turned in toward the island and headed in our direction. The sound was amazing the sight of them in one long parallel line head at us as the sound got louder I got out the camera and snapped these as the went by me on both sides.

As Steve I went to fish for something a little bigger than Bass so I used the heavy rigs and live bait and had a few chances but no hook up (still need work on my tech) Did a little

After the last move on Sunday I took some squid strips and went looking for some rock fish for the people back home

Found a drift from 50 to 28 ft and got on a roll, first a brown rock fish then the fattiest white fish I have ever seen then a sheepshead all on 8lb. After losing me last 1oz bullet head to the kelp switched to the 17lb setup and a 1/2 oz sled head and hooked a nice brown rock fish noticed there was a line hanging out of its mouth that was tied to a lead head in its throat. Last a hefty sculpin that I let go did not want to feel the pain.

Captain Rick and the crew worked hard and were awsome to us the food was good and always prepared fresh when you were ready to eat.

The environment was amazing
