Another decent day on the water. We started off going south to the Charthouse, I got a short halibut there along with two small sandies and a little brown fish (either a small calico or a senorita) roll on my lure at the surface, didn't get a good look at him. All of those fish were on the fastrac with one small sandy on the 4" Green Sardine FT. My dad came up from his dive and said it was murky and he didn't see any 'buts because of the warm temps so we went back up to Topanga Point where we had some success on Sunday. On the paddle up there I got a sandy on a 5" Rainbow trout Big Hammer and a 6" mack on the fastrac (I wish I would have had a flyline rod ready to go!) Once up to the point I hooked up with 3 more sandies, with one going 3#. Two of those were on the Mackeral FT and the big one on a Prizm Smelt Big Hammer. Later I got into a small area with some halibut, I got two fish that went 20" of so on two casts and I look over and my dad has a huge halibut! I thought it was at least 35# but it later weighed 33.1 pounds and 42". He got it with a pole spear in 9ft of water! If only I had casted a little more to the right...Another small halibut around 20" and I called it a day. All three halibut I caught up there were on a Mackeral colored FT. I don't think I fished in more than 15 ft. of water all day, that's where all the bait is anyway.
