It was fun fishing with you again John. When you talk to your brother, tell him you caught your seabass on "shrimp".

Gary's back went out shortly before the trip and he was thinking about cancelling. However he was able to fight the pain and get himself a seabass.

I got a seabass too!

Here's John with his fish. "You ever take it off any sweet jumps? "

This was Hector's first time out on a fishing boat, and his first fish! SWEET! Is that a "Legal-ling"? It was great fishing with you Hector! I hope you come out on more of our trips.

Here's Jimbo with his seabass.

Here's the group with our seabass. What a GREAT day on the water. Capt Joe and crew were AWESOME! THANKS guys! For 22 anglers we caught: 21 White Seabass, 195 Rockfish, 4 Lingcod, 2 Halibut.

Here we are with our seabass! What a GREAT day on the water! SFR would like to thank Capt Joe and crew for a TERRIFIC charter!

For 22 anglers we caught: 21 White Seabass, 195 Rockfish, 4 Lingcod, and 2 Halibut.

This fish has quite a story! It got wrapped around the anchor line so the deckhand Mike, cut the line and tied it off. When it was time to move, the anchor was carefully raised and the fish was still there! Sorry Gary, this one doesn't count for the jackpot!

Here is Wilmer with the jackpot winner! He had a great day and managed to hook-and-hand a Sea Bass to another angler.

Here is the runner up in our jackpot. While he didn't win, he was happy to be going home with some good eating fish!

Special THANKS to the Pacific Dawn and Candy Catchers for a great trip.
For 20 anglers 11 White Seabass, 200 Rockfish, 2 Lingcod, 1 Halibut, 1 Cabezon

Victor fished with us on some of our charters. Nice Ling!!

Jim's first white sea bass. He actually ate the heart.

First fish on board.

Another happy angler.

Everybody had fun on this trip. We caught our limits on rockfish too.

The White Seabass fishing had been GREAT for over 2 weeks! We were all hoping that the bite would last long enough for our Mirage charter sponsored by Candy Catchers. Well...the fish were biting, but not full speed. We anchored up at Santa Rosa Island, made some squid, and waited. We started fishing at gray light for no luck.

Tom was the first one to hook up. This was his first white seabass...so guess what he ate??? That's right, THE HEART! Tom didn't flinch as he gobbled it up! Way to go Tom!!!

Another shot of Tom and his first seabass.

The next person to hook up was Steve. He got this fish on a white leadhead and 25# test. After a long battle the fish finally lost. Here is Steve with the largest white seabass EVER caught on an SFR charter. WAY TO GO STEVE!!!

Just to get an idea of how big a 60lb seabass is...we put a 15lb schoolie next to it.
