Had a buddy guide me on my boat to get a few pointers and just get as much advice as I could get. We launched The Cyclops at 6:30 am at South Shores and hit the Bait Barge before heading out to La Jolla, hoping to see some Yellowtail. We metered a few and thought we had a hookup :o then as fast as it happened it was over >:( Oh well. Next stop was Point Loma in search of Ling Cod. We hooked a couple nice ones and had a good battle and the 25Lb. Flouro was bit off ::) ::) Headed back North a bit and found a nice stone about 5 miles out, we stayed there till 5:30 pm, non stop action and we had to call it quits cause we still had to get back to the launch and still an hour drive home. Water was a beautiful purple and calm as could be, didn't want to leave :) The pics will tell the story 8)

I heard these sharks were tasty, so I decided to try it......Shark Steaks on the BBQ coming soon :)
Heading back out on the 4Th, Cheez from AZ. is coming out for the weekend, hope to fill the kill bag again 8)
I put 43 miles on the boat and burned about 18 gallons of gas, not too bad. The Spot Lock is a must have, it works great 8)
Let us know how the shark steaks go, I was thinking about keeping the next pinback I catch. Good absorbing more captains knowledge from others.
Stoked to see you took the boat out that far, nice batch of fish also
Nice Spiny Dogfish! Did you mess with the dorsal spines? At least keep them for some souvenirs!
Nicely done once again guys. For some reason I thought you were going offshore looking for Bluefin.
Great haul once again!

We were going to head out but we decided to stay inside. Didn't save any fins, maybe I can dig them out of the trash. What am I supposed to do with them ?
Nice!
If you catch another, just remember there are two nasty stingers on them just like a horn shark!
