Dana Point Harbor Float Tubing 7/2 report
I went float tubing today with Tony (L@gunaBe@achbum) in Dana Point Harbor next to the bait barge. Almost everything today was caught on swimbaits and Jerk-Its.
In the beggining of the day, I dropped a Blue Storm Swimbait, and caught 2 large adult tomcod. After that, I casted it out, and caught a white sea bass, which gave a very good fight. It was about 18 inches. I also tried a jerk it bait, and caught another tomcod. After that, I caught 2 yellow-fin croaker on back-to-back casts on squid. They surprisingly gave a great fight. Later in the day, I caught a barracuda on a green iron man. At the end of the day, I caught a stingray (I think it was a butterfly ray) that weighed about 8 pounds. Tony caught one small halibut on a jerk it by the dock. Later, he caught another halibut around 1 ft on a swimbait I gave him. He also hooked one that would have easily been legal, but he snapped the line. During the day, he caught 2 tomcod, a yellowfin croaker, and a very small baby white sea bass. Tony and I had a very fun day. We hope to fish here more often. Last edited by DementedFish; 07-03-2004 at 03:30 PM. |

Well, i used a few teqniques. One tequnique was letting the jerkbait rest on the bottom, and boucing the rod tip so the jerkbait bounces off the bottom. Another was the cast and retrieve meathod. Also, drifting them caught a few halibut yesterday.

yeah the day was fun espectilly with all the fish we were reelling in, me and sean were bummed we didn't bring crank baits cause these two kids on a dingy were bringing in at least a dozen barracuda and we got one.
all together it was a fun day , except the pelicons kept jumping and getting hooked on seans ironman and my jerkits and swimbaits. we will probally be going in the next couple of days cause sean wants too catch a halibut and i have caught 2 lol from bum |
