South of Monterey 8/15-16

Just got back from a overnight stay at a place south of Monterey with lost_anchovie and lurker David who isn't registered (I know you're reading this - register and post dammit).

Many beers were killed both at the campsite and on the water.    The fishing was decent, but I was expecting lings and cabs.  If you've been to this campsite, with a history of issues with a certain Ranger, I would appreciate a PM with hints on how to find the right reefs! 

I'll let Keith post his report and images are always better so...

25" on the first day


26" on the second on a white scampi tipped with squid

Halibut on the rocks please......Nice trip, good ones w/the doublebuttin' bro!

Nice!!! Halibut and Heinkens!!! Hopefully you weren't having flashbacks of Sat. while you were out there.

We actually did!  On monday, we saw a huge blue whale with a small dorsal fin that kept on appearing in front of us.  Keith and David saw the face and confirmed that it was a whale.

Scary nonetheless since the fog was so thick.

Wtg guys on those nice Monterey Co halis
