Spitfire with the BBFC Guys 10-26-08 - Fishing Forum | Fishing Tackle | Fishing Gear

Got down to the landing at 4:40. Some folks were there early, but we were soon joined by all the Bad Boys Fishing Club guys: Steve (Ghetto Dad), Greg (Gmoney), Jason (Osiito), Jason (Jaylpz), Victor (Victor101), Juan (Cappo), Mike (Hakavelli), Tim (Fishindude420), Gambino (Bassin Chef), Alan (One Leg), Art (Noho Art), and Kap (Hawkeye). Also joining us was Ray (Ricky-Ray).

We loaded the boat and headed off to the receivers, and left the harbor in pitch black fog. We started trolling right away for the bonito, and not long after, we got a hookup! Unfortunately, the guy who was trolling was a little bit of an idiot, trolling 200 feet back, so the school never came. This occured once more, but we did have a spot for 2 or 3 bait and iron fish. JayLo farmed a bonito, but you'll see that he redeemed himself.

We continued to troll up the line, when on the way, we spotted a huge mako feeding on a dead sea lion chunk. This thing was humungous! However, several attempts to bait it failed, and it sank out. Sorry, no pictures of that.

We trolled up to the Malibu Pier, and finally stopped and dropped anchor. My choice was the double shrimp fly rig with Gulp, and it paid off - I got 3 fish in 5 minutes. Others continued to catch fish, but the bite quickly shut off. We tried several spots around the area, but nothing wanted to chew. So, we headed back south, stopping at one area that didn't produce that much.

We went futher south, when we stopped at an area that produced quite a bit. Guys fishing the leadhead with squid got themselves big fish, including JayLo, who redeemed himself by catching the jackpot winning triggerfish. This spot also produced some quality grumpies. With time running out, Captain Steven wanted all the guys to have their sacks filled, so we headed down to the sculpin grounds.

Arrived just as the Redondo Special was leaving, and the fishing started out slow. Steven had to reset, and he got down to put some fish on the boat. I finally got a good spot, and filled my quota for sculpin. After a while, we finally headed home.

Minor note: Ray's pork chops are good!

Besides the food, fishing was so-so today, but we all still had a great time. Here are some pictures, and pictures are to follow.
