May 20th Pacific Dawn report

The winds were blowing but we made it out to Santa Rosa Isl. to do some rockfish fishing. The morning didn't show anything on the exocits but the shallow water rockfish were willing to chew.

doing a normal type drift drove the boat over the spots too fast so Pat decided to put the stern into the wind and use the motors to keep us on the spot longer. Soon we were coming up with double reds on the ganions and lingcods for anyone bouncing a jig off the bottom of 90'. With some hard fishing we ended with limits of lingcods to 15 lbs. and limits of red snappers to 6 lbs. Even though the wind was up the fishing was more up. This was the best day of catching quality rockfish I've ever seen. Thanks to Captain Pat and second ticket Bill Cavanaugh and the rest of the crew.
