Went out on a fun, but extremely long fishing trip over the weekend. Launched at 5am out of Moss Landing and fished till past sunset. We tried for sea bass early and watched others land some heavy fish while we sat in silence waiting. The boredom made us pull the plug and head for the Soquel Hole to get the skunk off the boat with some salmon.
We managed to box 5 nice fish and decided to head in to drop off the salmon before going another round of sea bass fishing (you cannot have salmon on board when fishing with barbed hooks).
Our trip ended without even a hit on sea bass but we were given a nice 40lb pity fish by Capt Khanh’s friend that managed to pull 3 sea bass right under our noses. Sometimes fishing sucks that way.
