Dave,
Sounds like a good trip, but I guess you
won't be sending me that halibut after all. : )

Subject: [VFB] trip report... from the
salt
Group,
My first Halibut is now a reality.
I went down to Santa Barbara
Harbor yesterday
morning with a buddy. We were there on the water in pontoon boats just after
first light. I was fishing a double clouser set up most of the day and the
only Hali I ended up catching was on the top fly, an orange on orange spey
clouser (bad night at the tying bench). There were another 7 or 8 guys in
float tubes (shark doughnuts), all fishing either iron or live bait.
Interestingly the guys with the live bait had floating minnow bucket that rode
tethered to their boats in a mini float tube. By the end of the day we both
had released a just under legal sized hali and headed home. We learned a lot
from this first outing in the pontoon boats, now to tye up more flys and watch
the tide tables.
