: at least ya had some good fishing today was like kite surf city !! : bmac93428 : : : : Sounds like fun. Is that pretty much the : kind of fish that you expected to catch? : : : : : : : Went out at Leffingwells (Cambria) Friday. Surf wasn't a factor. A little misty but no wind. Though the water was really mucky (bad vis). First drop on the 5 1/2" Swimbait nailed a nice Ling. Thought the bite was on fire until 3 more hours of fishing only produced one more Ling (my buddy Dave on whole squid). A bunch of other Rockfish but no Reds. Later that night we put the marinated Ling fillet chunks on skewers with mushrooms, onions, bell peppers and tomatos (BBQ). Oh yea!!! : : : We hooked up with Brendan from Santa Cruz later that night. He got there in time for the Ling BBQ Fest. Rained later that night. : : : Saturday we launched at the pier in San Simeon. The weather was fantastic. Though again, the water visability was aweful. Brendan and I hit up the point while a couple of surf fishing buddies made slowly made there way on foot there. Again, slow fishing. : : : My surf fishing buddies only managed one Sea Trout for the day. That's almost unheard of there. But that's why it's called fishing right? : : : Though Brendan managed a nice Ling, I was only able to pull up a bunch Browns and a Sea Trout. Though the Browns were kinda nice size. I tried squid strips, whole squid, scampis, swimbaits, grubs..........the only thing that paid off were the olive/red belly 5 1/2" swimbaits (1oz leadhead). All the fish cleaned had a belly/mouthful of small sanddab-like fish or shiners). : : : Brendan donated his Ling for dinner that night. We BBQ the fillets and made soft tacos/fajitas. TASTY!!! : : : Nothing like being with the boyz fishing and bbq'ing up some nice fish on the grill. : : : The drive back was amazing. I've never seen the islands so clear as yesterday. I counted 4 not counting Catalina. : : : Great trip as usual!
