Outside of the tournament, Captain Dale Lisi and his crew on Foolish Pleasures had a great day in the Washington Canyon today putting nine nice yellowfin tuna in the box.
Billy Work and his crew had a great day of trolling today with eight nice yellowfin tuna for the fish box. The crew also lost a big blue marlin just 30-50 feet from the leader.
Captain Marc Spagnola of Dusk to Dawn Bowfishing had a good day and night with some great ray shooting during the day preceded by some awesome shooting for gar, snakeheads and big catfish last night.
Nolan Mills was fishing the south jetty with his Dad Brian last evening when he caught this very nice 17.5″ grey trout.
Jim, Megan and Liam Ferrell had a great day with the tilefish putting some nice bluelines in the cooler with a couple of big goldens. The larges weighed in at 48.5 pounds.
Captain Monty Hawkins of the Morning Star had a fine day at sea today. And he’s looking for a mate.
