We left the dock around 10:00 PM. The seas were calm. The ride to Catalina Island Island was comfortable. Our bait tanks were already loaded with nice sized LIVE SQUID.

We fished West Cove were the commercial squid fleet is operating. We started fishing around 2:00 AM. The first fish came over the rail at 2:15 AM. We proceeded to catch our limit by 3:30. It just so happened that we made our limits right before the bite turned off at 3:30 AM. Most people then returned to their bunks for a well deserved nap!

Look at these beauties!

Yes! We got the White Seabass! I caught one on IRON and the other on LIVE SQUID!

Angel is pictured here with one of his White Seabass! Nice job Angel. We all had a great time! :)

Angler John Knoble from Rosamond, CA celebrated the day with a LIMIT of White Seabass. Thanks for letting me wear your shades John!

Angler KC had a great time, too!

Nice big one Joebe!

GO DODGERS!

Darryl fished with us today on his birthday! Happy birthday Darryl! I have a feeling you may remember this birthday for a long time!

Thanks Steve! We truly appreciate the support of Long Beach Sportfishing! We had an awesome time on the Eldorado! Everybody on the crew for the Eldorado did a commendable job! We are very pleased with the entire day. Thanks so much and keep up the good work. We hope to fish with you again in the near future! The boat is also very comfortable. Especially with our ultra limited load today!

I think Renee is our good luck charm. She is so kind and sweet! The real bonus seems to be that everytime she comes out on our trips we do very well. Thanks for coming Renee! I only wish Jim could have been here with us! I look forward to seeing you on the Sea Adventure on Friday!

We did it! We caught limits of Seabass for our group! Wow what an experience. We also caught and released a bunch of Calicos and Perch. A few guys caught some barracuda. We also had a couple Halibut during our Seabass bite. They were little guys! However, the White Seabass averaged about 20 pounds. The big fish was 25.5 pounds and was caught by Rich Elsea from Newbury Park, CA.

What a day!

David Dockstader (#10) dropped down with a dropper loop and caught this nice White Seabass. Congratulations David! You did it!

No its not the same fish. David dropped back in and caught another one! Thats two for David. Right on buddy!

Gil caught this nice White Seabass with LIVE SQUID. He also caught a Bat Ray on the IRON!

Wayne Berg caught a White Seabass, too!

"Thank You Jesus! We can leave now!"

Keith finally caught his first White Seabass after 12 years of fishing! Way to go Keith!

Sigmund and Keith had a good time!
