Yep ,I saw you too. Tried to call you, no answer. Next time stop by,we had two in the boat already, I'll show you my setups, give you a couple of leaders. they really wanted to go Saturday, my buddy got 3 including a personal best 38 ", 23# fish on the same rigs, his boat.Went out today, figured out too late that they moved shallow, full moon, only got a 25' and lost a pig to the big headshakes. Working on a variation for the tournement in San Diego on the 29th, Got to fish IFGA rules, small changes.Will be out next Saturday for the very reason, Good Luck

Beautiful fish. My wife and I are new to fishing Long Beach. We have been fishing Newport and down the coast gettting some Butts at Seal Rock. We were to go to Long Beach this weeek but we both got the flu and are stuck home for a few days. Would like to meet up with you some time. We noted last time we went out in Long beach there are 3 Bait barges. Seems like you have a favorite. Which one do you suggest. We have also toyed with the idea of hooping for lobster in Long beach. Again what a great day on the water. regards, J.L. Lagestee
