Late post on our trip up to the banks on Sunday. The day started off with 64 degree water and flat conditions. There was a constant barrage of mako sharks taking fish and getting hooked. (Nothing landed). Not having any drift Made ling cod a bit challenging although we did get some good ones. 19 of them and 27 limits of RC. Clouds of jumbo yellowtail rockfish filled the screen all day. We did our best to not fill out on them too quickly. There was some good scores to come from the north of where I fished. We were down on the west end of the shoal and found great rockfish and spotty lings. All in all it was a fun experience to get back out on the banks again. Over 35 square miles of rocks to check out. We’re gonna have another trip up there when the weather settles. It’s a 2:30 minute ride up. I believe we can fit a sand dab stop in for the next trip. I believe the next trip could be a banger. Looking at possible dates. This upcoming Saturday or Sunday . I know I canceled a handful of you out for Monday and Tuesday’s trip. So I’m adding a couple more possible days before we start our crab combos.
No advance bookings on Cordell Bank trips. I will make a post to call in for reservations. It will be short notice. just because of weather.
Thank you to everyone that jump on the boat when I get an idea to do something different…….
