Just got back today.
Fish caught: Yellowtail, Sierra, Cobrillo to 10#, 57" totoaba (released), 100's of sand bass, orange mouth corvina, snapper, some triggers but not too many.
Weather was all over but we were able to fish everyday

Stayed three days at Papa fernandez, then went to your place for the remainder of the week.
The YT, Sierra and Totoaba were caught in Gonzge bay.
Cabrillo caught on the reefs just north of your place.
Maybe this trip we can finally fish together

The camp sites were not kayak friendly, too far across uphill sand dunes and rocks, so they let us stay next to the launch ramp. Found a good place 30 yards from the water with afternoon shade from a large tree. $7.00 a night per car, 200 yards from the restaurant which was good if you supply your own fish. They cook your fish with trimmings for fish tacos for $5.00 each.
We used the restroom outside the restaurant which was clean, roomy and had flush toilet. The owners were very friendly and accommodating.
The trip across the Willard bay to Gonzage bay was a little long, but at the right time of year there is good fishing along the island from Willard bay to Gonzage Bay. Inside Willard bay was good Sand Bass fishing on the rocky reef, with some Cabrillo and leopard grouper.

Sounds like you and Steve had a good trip. See you and your wife Saturday at the HOW event at OEX Mission Bay. Thanks for the update on Gonzaga.
