Edit for pics & more info

Spent a pleasant morning on the Stardust 1/2 day. Met up with Eric aka Mr. Tree who happened to be on the boat :) We fished around the 4 mile for rockfish for the morning. It was a pick bite but captain Jason just has a knack for making something out of what seems like not much. For 20 or so fisherman we did a little over 100 rockfish, mostly reds, starries and a few browns, boccacio etc.

Eric won the jackpot with a nice barracuda that must have been lost in 150 feet of water. It ate one of his baits on the sink with a 4oz sinker lol. One other cuda was hooked by another angler on a big hammer but it broke him off. Got an awesome display from the porpoise who were running bait. There were around 100 porpose all in a row, jumping nearly in unison herding the bait. They ran about 150 yards off the bow, pretty cool.

We had one very interesting passenger, who like Eric mentions below, brought his own net. Definitely the first time I've ever seen someone bring their own net on a party boat, it was pretty cool :) I think the funniest thing he said was something like, "I'm going to put one of these sardines on and I'm gonna put the other one in my pocket for later" I have no idea what was going on there :D

Here's Eric's jackpot barracuda
