Capt Merit
We spent today dodging the wind and seas, hitting up Santa Rosa Island reefs early before the wind got up. Fishing was great, despite the current and swell being a little screwy. Anglers put on 200 nice rockfish before it got too bumpy. From there we headed east into much shallower, more sheltered waters and put the anchor down, looking for giant whitefish and a nicer ride. We got both, plus a few more rockfish. One guy baited with anchovies by mistake and hooked two barracuda at once. One got free and the other he bagged. Very nice Island fishing.
25 anglers
