Cowcod and BSB bonanza, great on the BBQ, 7/6 and 7/7.

That's exactly how I hook all my fish. !

Had a few days and went Halibut fishing.
Absolutely great bait (sardines) from Marina Del Rey Sportfishing both mornings, had decent slime on'em too.
Yesterday at 7:30 AM, 60 feet, 27 inches and 8 pounds.
Today at 7:45 AM, 78 feet, 28.5 inches and 10 pounds.
I guess the only other thing I'm willing to add is had to kick motor in-n-out of gear in early AM each day.
Listened to an Opera at Burton Chase park last night while dining and relaxing.
It was pretty good stuff even though I prefer my music louder and more abrasive.
I appreciate everyone heading offshore, go get those Tuna!

Thats the right kind of net!

John,

Good to see that you still remember how to find the Halibut.

I might be searching for the same kind this Sunday in LA Harbor with my son.

Thanks for the report. "Power drifting" can be a pain in the butt, but a necessary evil when there's no wind. Gotta cover some ground one way or another.

The BSB you're holding is the perfect size for the BBQ! MMMMMMMMM tasty!
Generally, I use garlic cloves strategically placed in a BSB steak, basted with olive-oil and pepper, topped-off with Artichoke and Asparagus and big squid tentacles all grilled and lathered with butter and garlic. Dessert is fresh RAW Bluefin!

I also see the topwater jig locked and loaded.

I didn't find many Asher, but when I did they were all hooked, netted, and tagged, well except for these 2 little ladies that were kept, and sure glad nobody else was around on a weekday at 730 in the morning. John.

Well good luck this weekend Glendon, and good luck to your Son also. John.

They taste best when you grill them next to a Bald Eagle breast nothing like it

 

[Pgnracr]

Nice job!? Question I might be but I thought you mentioned COW COD?????

 

[sealskinner]

Always better with Garibaldi sauce.

 

[Tunaslam]

Works for me, congrats John!

Thats got nothing on a good peppercorn Condor with mango chutney

Beer battered and deep fried . . . Cowcod makes an excellent Taco base, home made Pico, some slaw/cabbage, a lime, and your drink of choice, times X Tacos and X drinks. Funny thing everyone thinks I'm kidding about this, well kills 2 fish with one ganglion, whatcha gunna do!? Come to think of it I substitute Wahoo when I have neither species, or as Randy would say . . . . HooWa.

Wtf is going on around here

Do tell?

 

[FloMar]

Do tell?

Is there a law against cooking Cowcod, or BSB for that matter?
I think it's a possession factor, 99%, and I get that.
I guess the real question you would ask is how does one obtain these fish legally?

Where is that CLUB a Seal video? I need to find it . . . that'll keepya busy for awhile!!

I'm guessing that Sheephead you're holding is 30+ plus pounds, mind if I ask how big it was?

We didn't weigh it but if I had to guess of say 13-15

Silly fuckers!

 

[salty nuts]

Fuck the great news on this thread is that there are butts in the bay. Place has been a ghost town for years!

Nice job John.

I love my CC panko and fried please...

Nice recipe! I like mine slow roasted over bristlecone pine logs. Tastes a lot like like California condor.
