After the cancel back on cancel back on Myself Guzzler and Ayla left HI around 1:30. grabed a scoop and a half of rino deans and headed south to the 238 area. We were not going to make the numbers by gray light so decided to drop them in at the 238. Area looked fishy even had a few meter marks but no knock downs. I decided to take a nap. @ about 7:00am I get up and mike sez "the water sure is cold" I say "wind um in lets run to the numbers" about 2 miles short I see a splash to port we all look and then comes Mr. Albert airborne. I hang a left and slide in on the area ... we all flyline a dean out and BAM Mike is on. I throw a scoop out and the water erupts! We fished this school for 1 hour to get limits for 3. we broke off 5 others. half way through the bite I lose a gaf, after boating the 2 fish on, we start a slow chum and idle to retrieve the gaf, after the gaf recovery we throw in and BAM! trible bait going again. I even caught them on the 30w and 60#. It was wide open. Limits by 8:30

Sounded like everyone in the area did well. Talked to Lee on the HeatherLynn II and Phil on the SouthernCal all with early limits. WTG guys.

The Scoop:
31 17 - 117 03
Temp 66.4
Limits for 3 (smallest 22#'s)
Weather bumpy but no real swell

When you hit the cold water at the 238 keep going it warms up and so does the fishing :D

Mike and Ayla, you are welcome anytime... I had a blast fishing with you and thanks for all the help with the boat :cheers:

go get um

You've got 2 tired and Happy Campers here . Nothing better than a spur of the moment trip turning into the best trip of the season .You caught me at the right time yesterday . It didn't take much to twist my arm after the messed up day I had at work . I love it when a non plan comes together .

Well everyone if you've been waiting for BaitFish , those boys are chewing . Go the distance and reep the rewards . Total insanity from the get go once we found the jumpers . Those fish were like PuppyDogs following us when we had to move the boat to retrieve the Gaff ! Hell , I farmed the first 3 or 4 fish I hooked . Don't go after them with 20# test . These Alberts have some shoulders on them . They were snapping my 20# P-Line with a lite drag like it was nothing . Use 4/0 hooks as well . I had some problems with #4 Circle hook staying set today .

The cold water we trolled thru South of the 238 was 9 miles wide with Temps as low as 60 Degrees . Don't waste your time in there .

Color of the Day - Sardines !

Thanks again Brandon !
