21 passengers boarded the Gail Force out of LA Harbor Sportfishing, leaving the dock at a little before 5:00 AM Sunday morning.\u00a0 My friend Danny arranged the trip for my birthday.\u00a0 After doing the same for several years now, it has become an annual event, filled mostly with friends of ours.<\/p>\n

We had Captain Jared Malott at the helm, Calvin and Steve on deck, and Mark in the Galley, as well as helping on deck.<\/p>\n

We arrived at Catalina Island after a smooth ride out.\u00a0 Passing Avalon and going around the back side, we stopped at several spots with minimal results.\u00a0 One nice halibut and a handful of legal calico bass and more shorts, minimal water movement, I was afraid it was going to be another slow trip.<\/p>\n

A stop while working our way around the other side produced one nice grade yellowtail, then another.\u00a0 \u00a0A pick bite turned into a steady bite, and finally at times a wide open bite.\u00a0 We ended up spending the rest of the day there and leaving a bit earlier than our scheduled departure because we were out of bait!<\/p>\n

We ended up with 60 yellowtail, most around 18-22 pounds, plus the one halibut.\u00a0 The crew worked hard to make sure everyone had a fish, ran around like crazy, and broke several gaffs!<\/p>\n
