Shark fishin' from the 'toon.
Loaded up the 'toon with some drinks, snacks, bait, and headed a few miles offshore. Caught a few little pinfish on some cut squid, and then freelined one of 'em about 50 feet off the stern. Within 15 min I hooked up on a little 3' shark. It was pretty awesome because he came to the surface, circled the bait a few times and then slammed it. My spool started screaming. Those little sharks are strong swimmers. I think it was a blacktip, but his teeth cut my leader before I could get him on the boat. My buddy caught another little one a few min later, but it cut the line too. Next time I'm buying some wire leader. The blacktip's are some good eating fish.
This is after a few minutes. Shark cut the line up near the boat.
This is the one my buddy caught. Small shark but has a lot of energy.
Little man snoozed through all the excitement.

It's 20# braided line with 30# fluorocarbon leader. I definately need the wire leader though for the sharks and mackerels.

We used to catch Thershers off Ventura by the boatload. Great eatin. We use to sell them at the dock. But that was 30 years ago.blackberg wrote:nice,

Another place we always caught Sea Bass was on the out side of the Los Alamitos Break water on the first or second ledge with pink shrimp lures. 3-6 lbs were the norm.

Re: Shark fishin' from the 'toon.
I wonder if using straight braid would work as well?
My new catfishing rig has 110# Jerry Brown Braid on there
White seabass just broke open this week out of los alamitos I heard, up to 60lb,

Straight braid would probably work. People around here use the fluorocarbon so the fish don't see it, but the sharks aren't that finicky. I would still feel better with a wire leader though.

Lol, it is actually a different Jerry Brown, this stuff is made in the USA in oregon, they know their chit when it comes to braid,
yeah, wire would be safer to prevent lost gear and hook ups, do you tie your own use the pre made stuff?
this pic is from another forum out here, they are actually launching from dana point, not alamitos right now, sounds pretty epic, but I wouldnt want to go out that far out on the toon in open water, at night,
this weighed 69#!

I tie my own leaders. Just learned the double uni knot recently. I would probably just buy a pre made wire leader with a swivel if I went the metal route.
