alantani Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 steve from australia - 8/25/2015 a guy from the website send a pm a couple of months ago. he said he would be in san francisco for a couple of days and was asking for a recommendation for a good charter boat. "well, come fishing with me!" so yesterday morning, my neighbor, jeff, and i drove north with the boat, and my friend mel picked up our australian guest in san francisco and we met in half moon bay. meet steve forbes from canberra! steve's driver, mel, had a slow start but started catching big fish when we hit the "big fish" locations. in addition to some ling cod, he stuck a 6 pound vermillion, and one vermillion that bottomed out my 8 pound scale. and jeff ended up with a bunch of nice fish, including this vermillion and the biggest ling cod of the day. had a pretty good take today!

Mr Squidy Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Awesome stuff mate!! Looks a great catch and very generous of you to help out a fellow fisho. Fishing charters can be so hit and miss and are always pricey so fishing with a local in a new place is always a wonderful experience. I've no doubt that would have been one of the true highlights of Steve's trip. Cheers, R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
