Marion and I went on the Mirage Monday night fish Tuesday. This time I actually check the weather and sea forecasts so make sure it would be good trip.
We got to the landing around 8:30pm to check in and get our bunks. It was kind of weird being at the landing when it was so quiet. There were hardly any cars and it seemed just creepy. We put our stuff on the boat and tried to get bunks in the bow but everything was taken. So we went middle section middle row. It was a good spot for future reference. A nice guy named Tony switched my top bunk for his middle bunk so Marion and I could sleep next to each other instead of some random man!
Marion set her alarm for 5:30am which I heard and woke her up. As for myself, I promptly fell back to sleep and missed the whole seabass and halibut fishing. It was ok, no bites except for Marion's bat ray. So I didn't miss much.
We were fishing the far side of Santa Rosa where you could see San Miguel. It turned out to be a beautiful day clear skies and calmer seas. It was windy on the far side of the island which Tucker let us know and tried to avoid going to.
Fishing was so much fun and really quality reds, cabazon, sheepshead, lings and other rockfish came aboard. Jackpot was won by this nice guy with a huge sheepshead right off the bat. Very cool guy since he gave the jackpot to the crew! Marion was stoked with catching 2 legal lings since it had been a couple of years since she last got one.
On my last drop I hooked up a nice ling and it was a beaut!
Marion and I had so much fun talking with all the other anglers and crew. It really was a great day!
