I wasn't able to get on a 3/4 day or over nighter due to trips being sold out weeks in advance and limited time! I wasn't expecting much but fishing the left coast is quite different to say the least! We caught a mixture of Cuda, rockfish (there are 40 different species) and a few calico bass mixed in ! Live anchovies fished on a dropper loop with a torpedo weight on the bottom ! Seals swimming around the boat picking up stray achovies and sardines ! Googans galore here saw conventional setups fished like spinners, the hooks are what I found particularly odd with what appeared to be a samon egg type hook ! All trips with this fleet are reserved in advance and a Ca. Licence and a Mexican licence / permit if needed for longer range trips ! The aforementioned 3/4 day trip that I wasn't able to get on is as such; 45 spots 12 mi out yellowfin 20-30# occasional bluefin to 100# with yellow tail mixed in and other species! Next time I guess!
