Jetty Fishing Ventura 06-12-2013

Brian and I fished the Greenock Jetty in Ventura from about 12:30 PM till 4:00 PM. We both fished with squid with me catching a small Cabazon and Brian catching a small bat ray (which he promptly dropped down a hole after tripping, but was able to fish it out for the safe release). I hooked another bat ray, but it snapped the hook off my 40 lb test line. Pretty slow fishing, but it was a beautiful day to be out on the water anyways.

Hit up the Malibu spot with Brian today. We started fishing around 10:00 AM and left around 3:00 PM. Fishing was very slow all day. I did catch one 11.5" grass rockfish on squid at 11:20 AM, but other than that no other fish. Still nice to be on the water even when fishing is slow.

Decided to hit up the Malibu Spot today. Low tide was at a little before 3:00 PM, so that is when I arrived. In the water right away and first cast I catch a nice 17" Calico Bass. Sweet start! Fifteen minutes later I catch fish #2 which I am unsure of the species. It looked and was shaped like a BSP, but it had spots on each fin. It was about 13.5" long and fat as hell. Back in the water and I get snagged a while later...while walking up the beach to work the snag out a sea gull stole all my bait....grrrr. It is only 4:20 now and if I leave now I will just sit in traffic, so...quick trip to Ralphs for squid and back to the spot. No more fish after that of course, packed it in around 7:00 PM. Both fish caught on squid. Any suggestions on the species ID are welcome.

After a long hiatus from fishing got back on the water today from about 10:15 AM to 3:15 PM with Brian. We both fished with squid. Beautiful day out, but the fish were not biting for me. Brian hooked up a couple times and got broken off and managed to land a small leopard shark to stave off the skunk. I caught some nice views and quite a tan :).

Fished the Malibu spot for about 1.5 hours using squid. No bites, no fish. Short session, so I should not have expected too much. Oh well, I'll get em the next time.

Fished the Malibu spot from about 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM with Brian. We both hooked up once, but both lost the fish to the kelp. Other than that just a nibble here and there. Both skunked using squid. At least it was a very nice day out :).

Hit up the Malibu spot with Brian from about 10:00 AM to Noon. First cast I think I am stuck on a rock, but after ten minutes I pulled in a nice 17" cabazon on squid.
