I kicked out to the bait barge around 12noon and fished till 2:30. No one else out except three people pitching from the jetty.

Results:

5 barracuda
3 halibut, largest was 18inches
4 pacific mackerel. I'm still amazed at how much these fish fight!
4 jack smelt

Lures: 3inch bleeding mackerel with 1/4oz Fishco Jig Head
4 inch Channel Island Chovy with 3/8oz Jig Head

Reel: Spirex 2000, 6lb. P-Line
Rod: 6ft., Med-Light Action, Berkeley Series One

I'd appreciate any comments or suggestions from you members out there. I've only been tubin' for the last three months and would love some tips about lure choice, spots to fish in the harbor, etc. . I've discovered a lot by just reading related topics on the conference board. Thanks.

I'm still looking for my first legal halibut. Maybe tomorrow.
