Wow what a gorgeous day wheather and fish! Day 4 was the best so far. Shawn Morgan took 27 anglers to 7 legal Halibut and almost 50 shorts. Biting every thing from live squid, anchovies, and sardines. Won Suh from Cypress has now taken the lead with a 27lb. beautiful female that ate an anchovie fished on the bottom in 65ft of water. Carl Hered jumped into second place with a 19 pounder caught on live squid. With a variety bait like this the fish have really started to show. We will continue to fish every Wed.-Sun. 10a.m. to 4 p.m. for only $30 your entered in with a chance to win $$$$$$. Hope to see you soon. Call at the landing for more details @ (562)432-8993. SEE YA

Okay, here is the update on the final on the first week of the Pot O’ Gold

Halibut Tourney at Long Beach Sportfishing.

January 18, 2003 winner is Won Suh with his 27lb 0oz. halibut that not only

won the trip pass, he also locked in the weekly cash prize of $84! Mr. Suh

is also the current leader for the annual pass given to the angler who

catches the largest fish before the March 2nd tournament final trip.

Remember, the Pot O’ Gold goes to the winner of the Fish-Off to be held

one week after the end of the tournament (March 9th, 2003).

Kudos to Mr. Carl Herrera who weighed in a 19lb 0oz halibut that easily

puts him in the Pot O’ Gold contention but left him 8 lbs shy of the daily

prize. A nice catch nonetheless and a tough break given the size of that

fish.

There were no legal halibut weighed in on Sunday, 1/19/03.
