Barry Brightenburg's annual seven-day bassing/skiff trip aboard Qualifier 105 returned to Pt. Loma Sportfishing June 13 with a good catch of yellowtail.

"Overall," I'd say we had the best skiff trip in 10 years," remarked Barry to dock reporter Bill Roecker, after posing with a heavy yellowtail.

"We had good weather, and yellowtail fishing good enough for the skiffs and great for the big boat. We spent a half-day at Sacramento Reef and hit it again on the way back. At Cedros Island it was nice enough to fish on the windward side with the skiffs.

"When we got back to Sac Reef fishing was good enough for many to get a personal best. Jim Edwards got a ten-pound bass, I got a 9-pound six-ouncer, and Alex Rentziperis of Dana Point got five over eight pounds."
