San Quintin, Day Two

[rossman]

Day two chasing halibut in San Quintin. The conditions were much nicer today. Very little wind at sunrise and then it laid down to zero wind for a couple hours. Really had high hopes. Managed two more halibut today, One a bit larger than yesterday's and one a bit smaller. Two grey whales inside the bay today. Quite surprising since the deepest water I have seen there is 54 feet. Gotta try again tomorrow but I'm running low on my Gulp Grubs. I may have to try to Sabiki up some live bait. That should discourage the sand bass anyway.

Sounds like a good time rossman. Making us northerners jealous on the daily!

Do you want me to hire a burro to bring you down more gulp shrimp?

It's Soccorro Beach. I drove to it about a year ago. Its pretty much a surf break but completely doable if the tide is high. Lots of stones line the launch, I would bring some water shoes. Didn't get to fish it, it is very exposed to the wind. But I hear the fishing is good.

many years ago I would have been surprised to see wales in water that was less than 100' deep, that was until I started to see just yards away from the breakwalls and beaches in waters less than 40' deep.
