Headed to Catalina Friday with two good fishing friends, Curtis and Dave. The plan was to scout out some new areas we hadn't hooped yet. We left early and spent most the afternoon checking structures and any safety issues ( kelp, boiler rocks etc...) that may come up hooping these areas in the middle of the night in the pitch black. Our homework paid off and we came up with limits for 3 of us by gray light. The next issue was to gain some points for the highliner tournament. Guys are out to a good start this year so I figured I needed to put up some good points and a nice big lingcod would do the trick. Curtis had a nice spot for us that got just what we wanted plus a nice bonus.
