FISHING REPORT
Sat 11/27
Headed out for some morning diamond jigging for bass and blues. The customers have more than a fishing tale to head home with after Captain Joel witnessed a boating accident resulting in one of the vessels taking on water and capsizing. With a combined effort of Captain, crew and customers the passengers of that vessel were safely brought aboard Sea Otter V and taken back to shore where the Coast Guard was waiting. After that, the Sea Otter headed out again where Kevin Daniels won the pool with a 16 pound bass and quite an adventure to talk about!
On the afternoon trip the excitement centered around the fishing. Live lining herring we limited out on bass. Chris and Tony were high hook with 6 apiece. Kevin martinez won the pool with a 22 pound striper.
