Not only did we catch White Seabass but we also caught three legal Halibut including this nice big one.

We started fishing Anacapa first thing in the morning for only a few seabass. We spent most of the day moving around, trying to get the seabass to bite. Unfortunately the seabass had lockjaw!

Wayne managed to land a halibut that went 12lbs.

Eric was definitely the "Hot Stick" of the day. He landed 8 yellows, 2 halibut, and 2 white seabass! And here's the kicker...he got ALL of the fish on a reel with a REALLY bad drag. We actually nicknamed him "Zippy" due to the sound his reel made---zip, zip, zzzzzip, zzzip! Congratulations Eric on such a GREAT day!

Eric's second halibut.

We even got one flatty on the trip!

We had a slow early morning Seabass bite, but that didn't stop us from finding the Halibut.

Here's Scott Hayashi with the jackpot! Way to go Scott!

We had 2 captains with us today. Captain Jimmy and Captain Gerry (captain of the Doble). After getting our limits of blue and black rockfish we made some halibut drifts. Gerry hooked up and landed this nice halibut.

Today we fished with Captain Bob Ingles on the Queen of Hearts out of Half Moon Bay Sportfishing in El Granada, CA. Since the Feds have implemented in Marine Reserves in the Central Coast area we decided to go South and fish Ana Nuevo Island.

Zippy dropped in with shrimp flies and live bait. He first drop produced a nice Halibut. Good Job Zippy!

On our way back home the Navy delayed our trip due to missle testing. Chris positioned the anglers to do one last drift before going home and Sam Rodriguez pulled up a flatty before day's end.

This last minute fish was well worth the wait. Good call Chris!

Here's John Pagett with the jackpot fish. Way to go John! Go gettem!

Mario hooked into something that didn't fight like a yellow so we were eager to see what it was. It turned out to be a nice legal halibut.

The Pot o Gold is going and Dave is our current leader.

Unfortunately it ended up being a short. However, it was a good way to start the day.

This gentleman happily takes the lead!
