LAST EDITED ON Aug-08-00 AT 09:52 PM (PST) Well, I made my first real fishing trip since my punishment. I met Pete and Mike and one of Mike's old buddies. We figured it would a mostly halibut deal so we fished the pier (from the tubes) with small plastics and fastracs. I got a couple mackerel, as did everybody else. Pete I think got a couple short halibuts, Mike got like 9 shorts (he got there before we did) and by dusk we headed over to the bait barge to see how dead the wsb were. Well, Pete decided to head across the channel and fish some pilings and stuff and I proceeded to miss 4 bites by the bait barge and as a small walk around drove by, I got a solid one. Connected with this one. Twas a good fish. I thought on a couple occasions that I had snagged the boat it was taking so much line. So I hollared at Pete and he kicked across and waited around for me to get it to the boat and I netted a 36", 15 lb. wsb. My personal best from the float tube. He bit the castaic swimbait (which is now history, it's so chewed) and swallowed the entire 7" bait. The fish might look a little thin in the picture, that's cause he's half filleted... -Brian http://www.calfishing.com/images/daily_reports/brianseabass.jpg

Brian Darn nice fish there son. Makes me really really wish I was back in SB to get after those bad boys. They never were that big 2 years ago when we fished them a lot. Guess the fastrac vs. fishtrap may not be decided in this round of competition <grin>. Now, the question everyone will be asking.... where can I get them swimbaits?

Which one do you have (or perhaps had). Turners True Outdoorsman down this a way has a few different ones. I use the small 3" ones with the lead head inside, which the spotties love. They have a couple different colors in the bigger versions and sell the tails seperately. Try calling info for the city of Orange.

It was fatter in person. Hopefully the shots we snapped off on my disposable will show it's true fatness. I missed three good strikes while Brian was dealing with his fish. One tore the tail off my 6 inch Big Hammer (took the rattle also - of course).

WOW!!! Congrats Brian on that nice fish! So, you break out of your home prison and decide to take out your frustration by catching ANOTHER toad seabass, huh? You are one helluva fisherman, my man!

Very nice fish. All good things are worth waiting for. I believe this fish was a reward for completing your punishment. That is a nice island fish. Hope we can meet one another and fish sometime soon.
Hey Rob, I got your e-mail, notice I am not only writing in capitol letters.
See Ya, Howard

Brian, I found those Castaic Saltwater swimbaits at a great tackle shop just off the Freeway in Camarillo, ANGLERS DEN. Rick Graham has them in all colors. I grabbed two. Pass it on.
