Captn. Ron & Josh were invited to spend the weekend aboard Dicks new 40’ Riviera "Lady Lu". The 3 of us were loaded up with squid & on our way to West Cove to fish the grey bite friday morning. The water was 59.5 with a nice milky edge but loaded with baby seabass, calicos & halibut to just legal (all released). We left there due to the baby seabass & worked our way down the backside for a slow pick on small bass. The Orange Rock area produced a thick 32" halibut for Ron in 30’ of water. By late afternoon we found some good conditions just n. of Church Rock for a good pick on sm. calico’s & 1 27" seabass just before dark. We moored up in Avalon for a hot shower, good dinner & sleep. Went back to the last spot we fished for a slow morning bite on bass, a few short halibut & 1 25 inch butt before calling it a day at around 11:00 am. If your at the Fred Hall Show stop by and say hi we’ll be in the Blue Fever Gloves Booth in the Meltons area.
