Took The Cyclops to Point Loma on Saturday to look for Sheephead, it was a beautiful day
Got to our spot and dropped down a frozen shrimp, 1 minute into it I sot slammed by something Big
3 or 4 solid runs pulling drag like crazy, then dead weight and popped my 25Lb. leader
Made a move since that was the only action there, decided to fish the pipe and landed a couple Gophers (thanks, Tom for the fish ID)
Myles is usually the Hot Stick and lands the first fish but he was not having much luck, but he was comfortable
This was Janie's first trip in open water and she got to use her new rod and reel to feel the fish nibbles. She had a great time until blowing chunks ruined her day
My buddy hooked a Sculpin that had Myles' broken leader in it's mouth, got his swivel and hook back
I scratched a nice Whitefish to at least have some taco meat since we ditched the gophers
The day was still young so we headed int The Bay, it was a SH%T Show to say the least, every sailboat and big Yachts were on the water and had no problem waking us out as we tried to fish for Spotties
My buddy got a nice one on a homemade A-Rig
Made it back to the Launch Ramp and had to wait for the Tour Boat to get towed out of the water. All in all, it was a slow but fun day, just not sure Janie is sold on open water fishing, same with Max, weak stomachs will keep them in the Bay from now on I think
Thanks for the Radio Chat, Tom, it was a beautiful day out there, I'm going out again on Wednesday if conditions allow
