#11576, "Redondo's Sea Spray report for 3-7-04 ..."
Well, fishing was good. The boat crowd was fairly light. 18 anglers. Weather was awesome. The landing reports that everyone caught there limit. I would have to disagree. I met this kid who only bagged 8 rockies. Another I saw whom did catch some rockies but I don't think he caught his limit because I would notice many times he had macks on his line. He was either fishing with macks for a killer ling or that was just what he was catching. Live chovies did better than squid strips. Shrimp/fly hooks helped me. Blue/white & Red/yellow were good for me. Although, it probably did not really matter. We went for sculpin at the end of the trip for 45 min. A yellow colored lead/head hook baited with Mackeral/squid strips above a dropper sinker of 6 oz. caught a quick limit for some chick. Fished off the bottom (1 crank off, at the most).
Total catch of the day: 5 Vermilion Rockfish 4 Jonnie Bass 4 Sculpin 1 Sand Dab 1 Mackeral (released into bait tank) 1 Vermilion Rockfish (small fry) given away
