Very clam waters, no wind, but it looked fishy… First bait first fish 2.5 lbs Perch 14 3/4″ Second bait small corvina, third bait another decent Perch, it was very fish here. the tide didn’t rise to much at 9am but a few of us got our feet swamped with water. There were 4 of us fishing and a total of 16 keepers and too many releases to keep count. What a nice day, You couldn’t of asked for better weather than today. The fisher men out today were, Harold Baker (harry) Charles Allen (Yard sales soon) Eddie Segawa (Easy Money) Ron Sasaki (It’s 5pm somewhere in the world) King Wong (Mr.Patients) None of the Amigo’s showed up but they will next week… Oh and me TommyTuna…
Saturday 3/3/07 Bolsa Chica State beach….
March 4th, 2007 by TommyTuna | 7 Comments | Filed in GeneralWell it was my first time out there and we caught a few perch around 2lbs and the rest were returned to get bigger. Lots of Surfers out enjoying the waves. walk alot and couldn’t locate the fishing hole. But it was a nice morning for a walk. Didn’t see to many hook up on the beach nor the breakwall (south or north) but i guess you need to be there all day. ( we were there 4 hrs) Buddy Gohn Always gets fish and nice ones at that but only one nice one 15″ here at Bolsa Chica…
