Took my youngest son to the train station to catch his bus. So I thought that I would try Redondo or Dash Point to see what they were like now, haven’t been there in over 20 years. I got to Dash Point about 9:30 and sat and watched for a bit. There was a sea lion or seal swimming around the dock.
I went out and heard about a couple fish hooked earlier that got away. I had a couple of hits and there were shakers around. Then my brother came down and fished too.
It was windy and cloudy at the beginning but around 12:30- 2 the clouds started to break up. Water was cloudy and choppy with the current pulling to the right.
Score for fishing Toni 0, my brother 3 flounders and a star fish. We were using herring. Most others were jigging with whatever the things were. Only a few others were using herring.
One guy hooked a good sized (keeper). It ran him up the dock and back again before the seal grabbed the salmon and swam toward shore breaking the mans line. The next guy hooked one that did a little running, jumped about 2 feet out of the water, throwing the hook and swimming away to freedom. The last one was hooked and ran back and forth in front of the dock but there was someone with a long handed net. That fish went home with the person who caught it. This native king salmon weighed 13 lbs. This fish was caught using a cut herring plug. I left about 2pm. The action was from 11am to 1:30 pm.
