On Saturday, June 19th the FIBers held our annual Coastal Calico Bass tournament out of Long Beach. This is a 2-man team catch and release tournament with a 3-fish limit – artificial baits only. Prize categories went to the heaviest 3-fish bag, the single heaviest fish, and the heaviest fish weighed by a junior angler.
Although conditions for the 5 teams competing appeared to be good for a nice calico bite, most teams found the fishing in the Palos Verdes area to be a bit tough that day. One team however, managed to put three nice fish in the tank. Congratulations to the team of Eric and Jerry Bent, who not only had the heaviest bag of 9.43#, but also the heaviest single fish at 3.55#. No junior anglers participated. Thanks to all those who came out again this year for this event.
