Gorgeous weather, candy bait, and and a boat load of friendly talented fishermen... the recipe for a great day on the water. The Shogun departed Fisherman's Landing yesterday afternoon with the boys from Catchy Tackle, Wahoodad and a cast of fishing stars en route to San Clemente Island. A slight detour to Catalina and 2 tanks of squid put us in a good position upon arriving at Clemente this morning.

We had favorable current early on and the bass cooperated, snapping up the live squid. Fished on a lead head or with a sliding sinker resulted in a quick bite. Several big calicos were photographed and released. When the current and the bass bite slowed down it was outside for a few drifts targeting the bottom fish. A great dinner in flat calm water seas, just a gently rock at anchor here in Pyramid Cove. Now if we could just bump into a few yellowtail tomorrow.

Fishing for a living,

Capt Norm and the Shogun Allstars, Pat reporting
