July San Quintin Trip
Monday, August 10th, 2015Juniors Trip July 29, 2015
Saturday, August 1st, 2015May have been the best trjip ever for the Jrs. The group left on time, as usual. Captain Phil was at the helm and Jason was on deck and in the galley of the Aggressor. We headed out of the harbor to meet the bait boat. As the crew loaded bait we had our greeting and introductions and basic boat rules. While at the the bait boat we saw the Western Pride catch a few small Yellowtail. After getting bait we headed up the coast to the “pipe” out in front of Huntington Beach. As we got the anchor down the bass started to show themselves and game was afoot. the Jrs started to bring one calico bass after another over the rail. Although most were of the short variety, there were more than enough keepers caught. This was one stop fishing, we did not have to move the boat once. The big fish for the trip was caught by Blake Richter, a 24lb 2oz Yellowtail. Yes a big Yellowtail! He also landing another tail. The big calico bass was landed by Mathew Withers, it was 5lb 3oz. Not too bad for a half day trip. Did I mention that he and uncle Ron lost a bigger bass at boat side, maybe 7lbs. This is not just a fish story it was witnessed by the charter master. It was a trip to be remembered!

Saturday, August 1st, 2015It was really nice to be able to host our first and only saltwater bass tournament of the year (Our other 2 had to be cancelled). The weather was very tropical with thunder and lightning strikes throughout the day mixed with periods of heat, and rain. The fishing was very good in some areas, but finding the bigger grade of fish proved to be the challenge for the day. Winning this one with some very nice Sandbass and a Calico were Tom and Val Handzus.
Coming in second place was Neil Richie, Ron Withers, Dorian and Jayson Quimby.
Coming in third place was Komron Aziz, Andrew and Art Gomez
The big fish of the day wasn’t a bass, it was Ron’s 8.9# GAR.
The craziest catch of the day was when Jayson hooked himself with his surface iron. Word has it that he didn’t like where the cast was headed, went to pull it back and blocked it from hitting his face with his hand. Let’s just say a hook in the hand is better than a hook in the eye.
