Santa Cruz 4/10/06

Finally got out yesterday on a solo trip to Santa Cruz Island 4’ to 6’ swell made for good Boiler Rock action on the front side. Really loving that Diawa Coastal spooled with 15# spectra, so much so that I filled my Calcutta 400TE (stands for terribly expensive) with 30# spectra today. I hope to land a larger percentage of the WSB I hook in the weeds with that rig now, they have hurt me on the 20# mono in the past. Well I’m heading over again tomorrow we’ll see how we do. I figured out how to take my own photo so here’s one out of the rocks. And some washing machine action in a cove on the east side of Chinese.

calico try this setup with your 20 lb,run about a five foot leader of fluorocarbon line as a leader with your 20 and youll find that you lose very few to kelp,most of the time the kelp doesnt get you it the side of the jaws on the white seabass are like scissors and when they kelp you it pulls the line back into the sharp part of their jaws and they shear you off.the fluoro is really tough stuff besides being nearly invisible in the water.my friend allyn watson who runs the dreamer taught me this and it works like a charm when the bite is touchy.having said that he also taught me to fish the heaviest line possible if thell eat it!
