San Clemente Island Fun!

Fish report by Jayson Quimby
I don’t post up every time I go fishing, but I thought I would share our exceptional trip from Saturday 5/5 with you. On “Cinco de Pescado,” we ran out to the Good Isle – San Clemente Island in my skiff. The ride beyond Cat’s East end was miserable with a building mixed up combo swell and 5-10 knots of wind. Front side spots of SCI were 62 degrees, clear, uphill current all day. Back side spots were washed out, green, 57 degrees and had large waves breaking on most of the spots.
We found steady fishing in the right areas, with some really good quality too! I had a blast fishing the Tenacious Wedless head on the 9″ MC Viejos Series!

I caught a bunch on the Kelp Kritter and the MC’s 8″ Slug was killing it too! It’s awesome to see the big fish swirl on the baits! Doubles on some good ones!

Here’s Andrew with a really good one!

The second Dorian spotted this cave, he wanted to explore it, so over the side we went. That was definitely the highlight of his day!

The wind and swell laid down some in the evening for a 2 hour ride home @ 30 MPH!

Although it’s not the only bait in my box, I have been experimenting with the Tenacious wedless baits for the last 6 months, in a variety of situations, and have caught a lot of good fish on them.
It’s only going to get better with the launch of the 7″ Wedless swimbait that will be available really soon!

Tight Lines!
