I was on the Clemente on that 1/5 trip. We got into them below San Mateo Point at the bottom of San Clemente... outside of Trestles. They were 5-10# averaging 8#. My son and I each got 20. Except for one he kept the others were stomped and released to feed the crabs. Lots of fun! They charge $3 to clean one and you had to have anything you kept cleaned on board... the landing doesn't want ink dripped on the dock, sidewalks and parking lots. The 7 oz 3-prong glow in the dark squid jigs are perfect. They worked better than the 20" mondo models. We used 40# and 50# line but 30# would've been fine too. Just get out and kill all you can while they're around. Dana is charging $25 and there's no jackpot available. They're locusts of sea and need to be gotten rid of. BTW, they actually tasted pretty good fried up!
