A Day on the Water with Uncle Al

Saturday was a beautiful day on the ocean and myself and close friend Uncle Al as he is known to the kids fished in the SWBA Dana point Calico tournament which saw a good turnout. Fishing was less than spectacular for most of the field and we had a couple stones to ourselves and were able to scratch a few fish that weighed a whopping 11 1/2 pounds good enough for 10th place.

Our two biggest fish came in 40 feet of water on swim baits with the rest caught on the beach on jerk baits. Its fun to get out and do the tournament gig but it would be much better during the winter months when the pelagic species are not here.

The tournament ran smooth and a 20 lb sack took the honors. These guys run a good tournament and everyone that fishes in them enjoys the camaraderie among the anglers involved. The best thing is the fish are all released back out of the harbor.

Well I have a couple more trips coming up in the near future and look forward to filling you in as they are happening.
Tight lines.
