A couple other details...

Mick's 1.x #er on the slammer was around 7 in the morning. About the same time, I got a hit, but missed hooking it on a 9" Castaic rainbow trout swimbait in about 8 ft. The other fish were all after 11am.

I must say that "rocket fish" was a trip to watch. I think it studied with flipper and some of the other trained dolphins. It was damn near dowing full backflips about 18" out of the water. Very cool.

I really wish I had at least gotten to see the line stripper that got away. It was a strong one. Oh well, maybe on another trip.
