First Time Out - 06/29/09

Hey Gang

Check it out - Our Bud Captain Ray Lopez had a very successful trip on his first run behind the wheel of the American Angler. Thank you Bill Roecker for the On-The-Spot report on his website - Click the link below for the full story - -

“We had pretty steady action in the lee of the island,” Ray told dock reporter Bill Roecker at the landing scales. “We got near-limits of yellowtail. The most common rig was 40-pound line with the yoyo or the surface jig or a flylined sardine. The 7X jig was best in blue and white or scrambled eggs color.” Well Done Captain Lopez

I have known Ray for several years and want to toss him a Huge "High Five" on his maiden voyage. Awesome!!!!!

Channel Islands CBass on the AmberJack

I rolled out to Santa Cruz Island with Greg Stoney on the Amberjack out of Ventura Harbor. The weather forecast was a bit iffy the night before, but the wind never really showed up and it turned out to be a nice day. We tossed Iron all day while drifting along the island with our dropper loop set ups off the Jack and managed a good day of fishing. Calicos on the 7x was way cool. Stoney hung a Cbass on the Iron. 60 lb. Black on the Dropper Loop. Signs of Barracuda following our jigs.

We made a couple of moves and found a nice area to make a last drift for the day. Both Stoney and I get bit and we are stoked the hard work we put in for the day paid off.

Can you see the Cbass Helmut being lifted off my head? Thanks again G for a great day at the Island

Bob,

Fishing was tough, wind prohibited us fishing the 4,5, and St Augustine’s on Saturday but North of town in the afternoon/early evening produced 30+ pound fish all three days.

I was out fished by the boys on the Champ!

The day started out slow but as the breeze picked up fishing did too. Tried a few spots for crappie for no luck. Once I rigged the boys up with dropshot robos they were getting bit frequently in 15 -20ft. They all caught their own fish unassisted and we had few tangles and snags. They were on their game! Josh was high stick with 7 bass ( to 1.25 lbs) and a trout. Dillon caught 4 bass with the day ending big fish off a point on main lake in the wind. The bass gave him a great fight, pulling drag on his new ugly stick with a 6# flouro carbon leader. We put the bass in the live well and admired for a few minutes then weighed, it settled at 2 pounds 10 ounce. What a beauty! The bass was released back on its point. Happy belated B-day Dillon!

These boys are the future of bass fishing - young bassmasters. Oh, and Uncle Tim did catch two bass and a few by the boat releases. My smile was as big as theirs when we drove away from the lake.


Thanks for the Great Report Tim - What a Party!
