Hello fish angler friends! It's been awhile since I've been out, went down to Dana Point, the Bonita was the second fish I caught the first was a barracuda but wasn't able to take a picture, and I know if you don't have a picture you didn't catch it, and then I had a double hook up on a high low rig haven't done that in a while, but all in all it was a good day! I got a line wet and I caught some fish!
