Junior Trip #1: June 30, 2023
We left the harbor about 12:15p.m and picked up a load of perfect sized
anchovies. The Ocean was flat and calm all day, a delightful day for
fishing and just being on the water. We had a wonderful diverse group of
fisherman. We had dad’s/sons, Lighthouse and Fib’ers taking neighbors,
Grandma/Grandpa taking grandkids, and whole families. Ages ranged
from young boys and girls to seniors. All groups left the trip with big
smiles and those that wanted brought fish home. We caught a LOT of fish,
Bass, mackerel, barracuda and halibut, ranging in size from a 12.75 pound
halibut to mini calico bass.
The first Junior to land a fish was Sophia Rothenberg. Two sisters tied for
the adult first fish; Amy and Maryalice both brought over nearly identical
calico bass. The star of the trip was Jiulian who brought on board a
12.75# halibut caught on the bow using anchovies. Not sure who landed
the giant crab (caught on Hookup bait). The crab was returned home.
Many hungry undersized fish proved great fun for fisherman. A special
appreciation to Calico bass and Barracuda, and we must not forget our
faithful mackerel; all provided excitement to our fisherman.
Special Thanks to Captain Rollo’s Kids for their financial assistance. A big
hand to Josh who cooked many wonderful hamburgers and kept the galley
open. Thanks to Travis and Daniel who setup gear and released many
caught fish. THANK YOU to Brain, our Captain, who found us fish to
catch.
We had a wonderful crew of Fib’ers who helped also: Walt, Bernie, Paula
and Charlie.
