Fish Report for 7-19-2018

Fish Really Turned On in the Afternoon!

7-19-2018
James Smith

We had our 5th annual Phenix, Optima baits sponsored swim bait tournament.  Also special guest Big Red Worm Bait Co. did a last minute sponsor on the trip as well.  Was a pick bite most of the morning before the fish really turned on in the afternoon.  We were able to fill out full limits of quality rockfish, and also took near limits of ling cod for our crew.  We headed back in the bay for a wide open bass bite.  In 5 drifts we took limits of bass for the entire group!  Fish we’re breaking water and we left them biting the live bait and swim baits.  
Top Fish prizes donated by Phenix 
Got a abyss 808 and a Lexa 400 reel. Also we raffled off a depths 250 swim bait. 600$ in cash as well for top fish.

Final count on the day

25 limits of rockfish (250)
25 limits of stripe bass (50)
45 ling cod
