Redondo Break Wall 02/26/2012

So after taking a couple hour nap after the Ventura trip I got up and headed to Culver City to pick up Thresher_One / Robert at about 10:30 P.M. on 02/25/2012. We arrived at the secret location to make bait for the morning. We worked all night getting live peppermint shrimp as bait for the morning fishing at the jetty. I also caught five huge (all 14+ ") pacific mackerels while making bait (I could have caught all I wanted, but five was enough). At around 5:30 A.M. we moved to the main jetty / break wall at Redondo. We walked about half way out and fished from about 6 A.M. till about 10:45 A.M.. Robert was killing it and I was picking off a fish every so often. Robert released about 6 big pregnant black / butter mouth perch and about 5 small sargo. He kept one large sargo (15+") and two Split Tails (new species to me). I landed about 7 butter mouth perch (kept two, the others were either to small or were pregnant) a tiny opal eye and one decent sized sargo. I hooked into something that felt pretty massive, but either it or a seal broke my 30 pound test :(. Robert lost one 16+" opal eye one the rocks on the way up (it was a dang nice looking fish). All and all another great outing with Robert at Redondo and our secret shrimping location.
