Dana 6-20-report

[Piranha]

Went out at Dana on Wednesday June 20. My companions were Viking (Wayne), Big O (Oscar), and myself. Fishing was great, wind was terrible. Wayne got a 31" halibut, and a lot of other various scaly monsters. Short white seabass, barracuda, etc. Oscar, who never keeps fish, got a lot of bass, and a legal halibut. Both Wayne and I got broken off by large fish which gave us sleighrides off Doheny. I got a keeper bass and a very large spotfin croaker. Also, I caught and released various other short 'cudas, smelt, short white seabass, etc. The croaker was over 5 lbs. Piranha

I have a Trailer spot a Doheny Beach the last weekend in July. How far off the beach is good fishing and is there any kelp around? I was taking my ocean big game and going to practice surf launching and recovery.

Let me kill 2 birds with one stone, Sergio, we're going tomorrow morning from Baby Beach at Dana at 6.30 am, that's Tuesday, the 26th!

Beachem, the croakers were caught on cut fresh dead sardines! The other fish were caught on live sardines and crankbaits!

BTW, We may go out again on Thursday or Friday. Hotchkiss and Flick wanna do Redondo on the weekend. Piranha
