We went out on the Gentleman 3/4 day boat out of Channel Islands Sportfishing landing.
The boat left at 6:05 and headed for the Channel Islands. Wind was present at 10 to 12 kts. Water temp was 56 degrees. The boat was 1/2 full and mostly rental rods. Shallow rock fishing was in the game plan.
We fished the Gap near Anacapa. The current was ripping at close to 1kt. 10 and 12oz weights were in the perscription but still drifting heavy.
We moved around to slower current areas and the fishing started to pick up.
We caught 5 keeper lings and lots of Blue Bass. Starries, Reds, Barber Poles, Sugars, Gophers and Treefish made the count. Several Hawg Rattlesnakes made their way up and were released.
We returned to the landing around 4:20pm.
