Report from Goleta, 8.1.09

WOW! That is one heck of a fantastic catch.  I'll bet that was a E-Ticket ride on a kayak!

   A Beast of a WSB.... Congrats...!!!!

  Fish of a life time congrats!  We stopped by Goleta a month ago and it looked great, lots of bait pods being worked by birds! 

A bit to the west of Goleta/Campus Point.  Please understand, I was VERY lucky.  I have fished this area a lot for years, and this is the only WSB I have caught around there.

Now that is a big croaker! I guess if you turn in the head they can scan for an implanted chip - it helps scientists see how their restoration efforts are doing. It seems like it's working, heard a seabass released in SD made it all the way to the SC. When I went, the science guys were super cool and showed me around the whole lab. What a Ranchy bass!

Nice fish Jim-I!... Looks like the Ocean treated ya well on that day... Nice meeting you out at 4 mile with Sean a few weeks back!
