Thanks, it was a definite pig for Cherry, Don't know about Halibut as I haven't fished for them in 15yrs. I think people usually fish the beach for them, but I'm sure they're around the islands too. In fact, now that I think about it one of the barge captains said he gets them in his propwash sometimes. But, I've never seen him actually fishing.

In his propwash? Thats cool i wonder how that happens. I might go and try to fish halis over there is there any bait barge or do you make your own bait?

Yeah, today was pretty good for bass in the propwash. Last couple times, not at all. Time before that, WFO. You just paddle up behind the tug (not too close mind you) and drift back. I don't know where the bait barges are, but I don't think they're close to Cherry.

So the fish like to go in the prop wash?

I think the fish are already there, the propwash just stirs up the forage and gets the fish active. That's my theory anyways.

Congrats Ed, I'm a gonna have to fish one of Landwhale tourney's one of these days. Congrats on the PB Bass. That's a big fella! I caught my PB 16" 2.0 lber and thought that was a toad. Did you click a pic? I'd like to see that sucka. I'm gonna fish D.P. tomorrow morning. Suppose to be decent weather tomorrow. I'm gonna fish San Pedro next weds with my sister. She lives there because she married a Colonel in the Airforce. Cabrillo beach. I've got a fish map of the area...but where did you guys launch from. I wanna fish Cherry Beach cause I heard that is a decent spot???
Later and Congrats,
Whit-
