Took TUNACIOUS to Cat on Sat @ 12:30. Arrived at Silver Cyn 2:15. nice ride over. Got a tank full of squirts from Squidalot. Fished Orange rock for a big bite that I lost in the kelp on 40 lb. No more bites after that one. Went way west and hooped #2 spot for 1 bug. Went to #1 spot for quick limits of bugs. 4 were 3-4 lbs each. Went back to Silver cyn to wait out the gray bite. Saw Honeygirl and another Outerbanks on the hook. Heard of one fish caught on the squid grounds. Fished a lot of beaches west to Ben Weston. No seabass for us. Home in DP by 3:30. Used 67 gallons of diesel, 158 miles. Flat calm conditions. Only drank 3/4 case of beer. It was a nice weekend.

Looks like things are getting ready to pop at the island.

One of my options for making a trip up that way would be towing to DP and running from there. If I remember correctly, you pay to get into the ramp lot and that buys you a parking spot. Can I leave the truck and trailer in the lot a couple night for the price of entering the ramp lot?

Are you taking fin bait from DP and picking up the squid when you get to the island?

Mike.. just go with me on the 26 in April/May/June.. it's a good easy ride to Cat from here, easier then paying for parking, towing in traffic, etc.

Bob, saw you drive by. Did you try to hail me? I might of had the radio turned down. I'm getting a real bad buzz from the bait pump. Some Jackass dropped his hook right where you drove by when you circled around. He was so close we could hear his conversation. We left there early and it paid off.

That would be great to ride over with someone that's been there a few time.
Zack and I talked about going over also. For me that area is uncharted territory and the more things I can learn for someone that's been there the better.

April and May are real bad months at work so getting off work when the fish are biting will be tough. Week day may be less of a problem than the weekends.

Honeygirl.
We tried you on 72, but no answer. We tried to meter around your spot and did not want to drop too close and moved on. We had a good meter mark inside and tried it for a while, no love. We moved west toward shark harbor but we not able to fish the entire day and left about 1:30. No Ghost for us. Did you guys get a seabass?

The Dana Point launch ramp is, the entry gets you one day. Go to the office and pay for extra days. I have not launched there for 7 years, but they used to have a guard that would take the extra days fee.

Thank's for the info Bob. In my little 23', an extra 45 minutes in the truck is trade for shaving 1 1/2 hours off my water travel time.
