It was hilarious watching Sin Coast get towed. Looked like he was halfway to Catalina Island as the night crept in.
There were a lot of really great fishermen onboard this trip. I learned a lot from these guys. Calico's were the mainstay, couldn't keep em off the hook, no matter what we dropped.
I was using a Big Hammer in about 25' OW. I think I had a halibut on,, but it charged straight into the kelp and snagged, right about then my other rod (which had a live squid on ) went bendo pulling me away from the kelp. That snapped the line on the first hit,,, I got a nice lil sleigh ride, only to come up with a ray....
The Islander crew was great. I couldn't belive the yak side service they provided... Snacks, Beer, Live Bait !!! It don't get any better than that.
Pat, you still owe me a shark steak
