FIB’ers Jayson Quimby and Ron Withers will be competing in the SWBA California Offshore Challenge again this year. Please say a prayer for their safety and success. The event is January 5 & 6 arriving on the 4th. The format is simple. Each day you catch 5 of the biggest Calico Bass you can and bring them back to the weigh in alive. Winning weights for the last few years have been right around 45+ pounds for the 2-day weight totals, so you really have to catch the right ones – big ones! Since it’s January and it takes place around our offshore islands like Catalina, San Clemente, Santa Barbara and San Nicholas, anything is possible. Some days we have perfect-flat-calm weather, other days can be very dangerous with 12 foot plus swells and strong wind from every direction.
