Catalina Bassin’

Monday, June 18th, 2012

The following report was submitted by Jayson Quimby
“Team Anchored [Jayson and Ron] rolled out to fish Calicos at Catalina on Saturday 6/16 and put the new 7″ Tenacious wedless baits to the test again. We found much colder water (61-62) than we had 3 weeks ago, and although we did not find the numbers of Calicos we had that day, we changed our approach to the same areas and found better quality! We caught really nice Calicos on the big Kelp Kritter bait, Tenacious Weedless leadheads/swimbaits, MC Slug, Lucky Craft hard baits, spinner baits, and on the surface iron. Some time in the last hour of our session, I landed a really good one. I was fishing the same 3/4oz Tenacious Wedless head I have been using for over 5 trips paired with a 9″ MC Viejos Series swimbait. We nearly lost this Catalina beauty at the boat, but Ron dug out the net and scooped her in – Thanks bro! This big girl bounced between 8 and 9 pounds on the hand scale. The Tenacious Wedless leadheads are total game changers. I almost never lose them, and more importantly, I can fish swimbaits in, through, over, and around all the bad neighborhoods our fishy friends hang in.
Big Fish = 8 pounds -11 ounces.
