"Salton Sea report for 6/28 & 6/29 with pictures!"
LAST EDITED ON Jul-01-02 AT 08:21 PM (PDT)
Folks I put a quickie trip together with boat co-owner WingSetter/Billy down to the Salton Sea for another whack at the orangemouths. We headed out of San Pedro at 12 noon and arrived at Bombay at 4 pm, after talking to Walt about how slow the fishing was we decided to charge over to Red Hill and hopefully the fish were in the same pattern they were in last saturday. We got to Red Hill a little after 5 pm and withing 5 mins we started hanging them, as Triggerfish reported the smaller fish were 8 lbs up to 14 or so. We hung 14 fish in a little over a hour and for the first time since the late 80's I kept some fish to give out to friends that were asking me for them. We headed back to Bombay and started cutting and cleaning and made it back to the condo at 10:30 pm.
Saturday morning we decided to tow the boat to Redhill as the fish were close to the ramp and hopefully ready to chew. We fished the same area as the night before and in 2 hours we hung 4 fish and dumped 3, ouch. So my 6 yr old son begged me to move the boat over to Black Rock got his wish and we were off, we started trolling and within 5 mins we got bit, KC. jr got the fish close to the boat only to have it spit the hook. We hung and lost a few more, I hung a fat one on 30 lb. Jinkai line and it flat kicked my @#$. This was the first Corvina I've ever hooked that I couldn't slow down, when the line broke it sounded like a 22 going off, oh well. We headed in about 12 pm for the long drive back, we decided to sleep in sunday as we had enough.
Here are some pics:
First pic is of some wild Pink Flamingos.
