Jim Gill and Jaime Gutierrez with a couple of the WSB caught at Santa Rosa Island. 05/06 PACIFIC DAWN REPORT We fished the WSB spot up at Santa Rosa Island and conditions have changed. Our first spot produced no WSB. Pat made a move after 20 minutes and found the birds and meter marks. We landed 10 WSB in a quick flurry. Other than 1 more WSB at the next spot, that was it for the WSB. We fished for rockfish the rest of the trip and limited out on Reds, Chuckleheads, Sheephead, Lings, etc. We also caught and released 6 Calico Bass 3-6 lbs. It was a great group with many locals from Eric's Tackle Shop in Ventura.

Loading up the Apollo in hopes of WSB

The beautiful sunrise is coming up but where is the seabass. All we have is bat rays and we know who the king of batrays is.

This was one of the lucky anglers who was able to get a seabass today. Check out the gaff shot by AJ the newest addition to the Apollo Crew. It was his first day on the boat and he looked like he worked on it for a few seasons.

Here is Jesse holding up the two WSB caught for JP. Jesse is a long range quality deckie. I have never seen anyone cut as well and as fast as he did. He was professional throughout the day and handled everything like a vetern. Unfortunately he has no job in Diego for this summer. Someone hire this guy. He is only 17 and was the best none LR deckhand I've seen in a while.

Here's Sigmund with the first white seabass of the day.

Keith also hooked into a nice white seabass.

This fish took Jeff for a ride...after hooking it, it ran into the kelp and got stuck. Capt. Brian Blair helped out and got him loose. Thanks Brian!

Scott managed to get 2 croakers.

Seabass on the deck

Here are the guys with their seabass and yellows.

Here's Mike cleaning our catch. Mike was very helpful today, thanks again.

We save every white seabass head on all SFR charters. It is very important to save the heads and turn them in to the landings.

Sigmund and Keith enjoying some cold beer on the way back to the harbor. They both got limits of white seabass. Nice job guys!
