Nine Miles of Cheez
« on: October 08, 2023, 07:39:54 PM »
 Cheez decided to make the trip from Arizona and surprise me with some custom decals for The Cyclops :o



Had to organize and get set up :)


We had to have some Tri-Tip for dinner the night before fishing ;) Mongo was eyeballing ;D




Up at 4am and out the door at 5am and at the Launch ramp by 6am........FOGGY AS HELL ::) Got to try out the lights  8)


Visibility was zero so good thing for Radar, it got us thru the Bay and out to the 9 Mile Bank. Pretty cool to have that feature ;) We put out a Cedar Plug and some Feathers and trolled around thru some Dolphins for about an hour but no takers :( Got some intel from a buddy and got on a rock pile in 500 feet. First drop and Myles is on 8) 8)





He was Jazzed to say the least  :D


It was non stop action every drop !  A bit of a work out at that depth but not too bad and well worth the effort 8)








Fished till about 1pm and decided to head back in, we had plenty of fish !!  Super calm and flat and The Cyclops cruised back in at 25-30 Mph, making the ride very enjoyable. I think it was the best conditions I have had since buying the boat, Got home about 3:30 pm, washed  the gear and the boat and called it a day :D


The fish were mostly Green Blotched Rockfish, Green Striped Rockfish a couple Chili Peppers and A Mexican Red Rockfish. Cheez took some back to Arizona this morning, I gave some away and vacuum packed the rest :)


 Can't wait to do it again soon, thanks for reading.

Too bad the pelagics didn’t wanna play, but that’s a real nice sack of rockfish for consolation. Looks like a great 24 hours with a friend.

Big step for the Cyclops!  Good for you guys getting out to try for pelagics.

500' sounds like top of the North 9.  Lots of Green Blotched and striped over there also. 

Bravo fellas!  Did better than me since I never got a chance to leave the driveway with the trailer failure.

Good to see you finally left the confines of LJ!! Cyclops is better than that! It's like buying a Dodge Demon to just drive it across the street. Love tuna catching, hate tuna fishing. Rockfishing is underrated fun.
