anything cool in rocky point?

[gillies]

The good Lord played a cruel joke on me when I got a love for the sea but a stomach that couldn't handle it. I second the comment about a litle boat and lots of fish! Try the fishing - you won't be disappointed. I never got sick on the water there either. However, if someone reading this thread does get sea sick, here is the absolute answer: the scopolamine patch by prescription backed up by a bonine pill you can get over the counter. Just got back from San Diego riding the swells there for a full day of deep sea fishing and didn't feel anything. Believe me, I'd normally be blowing chow like nobody's business! Rocky Point is always fun and only 3 1/2 hours from my house. Have a good time.

how much do they charge per person?

 

[sir_dudeguy]

something del mar is what my dad was lookin at i think...idk how many "del mars" they have (in san diego they had like 8 different del mar things lol.) but thats prolly the one.

I think I payed $55 bucks each with a minimum of three people for like 6 hours. There were two of us at first so I was going to pay the full $165 but at the last minute 2 more guys signed on. It was a blast.

And yes the fish I caught was awesome tatsing. I will post a couple pics when I get home.

As far as Brittle stars go I left the big ones alone (they were black) and caught a ton of the small ones

 

[sir_dudeguy]

cool! did you keep any of the small ones? if you did, how did you go about bringing them home?

and i think i'm gonna go scuba diving...i would be the only one tho since its so expensive (dont have the equipment so i gotta rent it lol)..but i'm torn between wether i wanna dive or fish...or maybe i could compromise by taking a net down in the water lol.

i was looking on some site on where we're going, and they have a bunch of fish that i've seen in aquariums in their sea. There was a couple few wrasses, and there was a really cool lookin angel..forget what kind..and then there was a rather large list of triggers as well.

here is a pic of the big trigger fish I caught

 

[trentula77]

Nice catch JP! That's a good sized trigger. I wish I wouldnt have forgotten my camera....these maroon and gold jawfish with black spots I was catching were huge (compared to jawfish we see in the aquarium trade). Their mouths opened up so big they could easily swallow a grapefruit.

 

[sir_dudeguy]

wow thats a rather large trigger lol..compared to what we keep anyways. whats the thinng he's chowin down on? bait of some sort obviously, but what?

 

[jpslickorocks]

squid

 

[sir_dudeguy]

lol nice

I've not been diving at Bird Island, but I did catch a 7' blue shark out there. Supposedly the sharks are attracted by all of the sea lions....just try not to look like a sea lion. :^)
