5/27 Seal Beach Hali-button

[Iceman]

Wednesday is now my official day off for Summer. Launched into lil ankle slappers and little more wind and chop than I hoped for. Seal Beach is less than 4 miles from home, so real easy on the gas.:D Paddled out toward the Federal breakwall with a plug on one side and a sabiki on the other. Picked up a pair of perfect candy bar greenbacks. Flylined one and traprigged the second. Set up on a reef that comes up from 45 to 35 feet. Sculpin eats my lil greenie.......big mouth bastard!

slim pickins with a couple sandbass on plastics. Head in to fish along the beach. short halibut, calicos along the jetti on plastics. School of these came through. hooked a couple that were too close to call, but saw a couple obvious keepers, one bigger model rolled in front of me and had one twice the size follow a hooked fish to the surface. Fun morning, landed at 11. ........until Next week.

If you were to paddle toward the cargo ship on the far right you would come across a reef marker. I caught a bunch of sandies there last time out and got one rockfish. Next time out I am heading south to Surfside for halibut.

It's just a matter of timing the sets.:doh: Sounds like a good time Andy. Congrats on getting out.

The picture is just north of the pier right? Do you park in the big parking lot in front of the pier?

[JPSURF]

Nice going Andy!!



The parking down there seems to be more of a problem than the launching for me. Andy do you have a magic sticker?
