TacticalFishingCrew Report: 05/12/2012.

[FishRaiden]

The crew had an EPIC day of fishing today, beautiful weather, calm waters, & hungry fish. Couldnt be any better than that.

Thank you for choosing "Tactical Sportfishing" today. We'll be starting off by drifting for some Rockfish and we'll target some sharks later in the day.

We started off with two fishing boats, The Ascend & King Scupper Pro, later followed by Crazy Scrambler.

Launched at the harbor by 6am and headed out to our fish hole for some Rockfish:

After about 30 mins of paddling we reach our first drift area:

I was dropping down a generic Lucanus Jig, dropper loopd with a glow lead head & strip squid.

Got a nice tug and set the hook!:

First drift, first fish to show:

Then a dinky Starry Eyed Rockfish:

We wind up our lines to look for a new spot. On my first drop I get a nice tug!:

Felt some head shakes & even pulled a little drag! :reeling:
I was expecting a nice 5lb Chuckle, but instead I get two decent size Chuckles!:

Then I head to the galley to grab a snack after winding up so many times:

With the outgoing tide, you can see the dirty water being flushed out of the harbor.
