First time at the Redondo boat launch - it was interesting to say the least - a very narrow ramp for 2 boats. Fortunately it wasn't packed this morning, but still tricky for our first time there. We pretty much stuck to the line and spotted fish on the sonar shallow (like 30 feet and up), so we ran either a tipped hoochie or spoon on one side and a herring down deep.
We had moderate action but only on the bait side. Two fish in the net, both hatchery but one was under 22", so only kept one. 5.5 lb. hen

Great looking fish - I was also proud I did a near perfect filet after butchering the last couple

Nice fillet job. How did the other side turn out?

Perfect both sides. I hate it when I get too greedy and go through the spine, ending up with 3 weird filets

Good to hear that you re getting out there and finding some success. Thanks Pat for your report.

Thank Larry - have you been out in the Sound at all? Tim's little boat isn't big enough for more than 2, but I think he's getting a bigger one soon.
