Shogun Gets 14 Over 200
The Seeker 13-day trip to the Hurricane Bank aboard Shogun with skipper Norm Kagawa returned to Fisherman’s Landing December 10 with 25 anglers.
Chartermaster and Seeker pro staffer Brian Porter of Downey remarked, “We had steady fishing with lots of new people. The fish got bigger as the days passed. We got one fish that broke off on a kite, double-sardine rig and then was caught again the next day, hook to hook, on the one hook that was still dangling from its lip.”
Skipper Kagawa said, “Fishing was very good, and we spent four and a half days at the bank. Most of ourt fish came on sardines. Some were caught on very large jigs, like th4e PL 68 and he TNT, during the dark. We got some on big baits like small tuna or skipjack.
“The kite worked well,” Kagawa continued, “and we got a few big wahoo as well. Pat Doyle won the Rollo jackpot for a 52.8-pound wahoo on the troll. This as one of our better trips to the bank.”
Dennis Groat of Redondo Beach won first place for a 233-pound tuna. He also had a 213-pounder.
“This one ties for my best,” said Groat. “He was a tough fish and stayed on the stern corner with another one, so we had to keep passing our rods. He came up to gaff in the other corner.”
Groat fished sardines on 6/0 ringed Super Mutu hook, with 100-pound Blackwater fluorocarbon and 100-pound Line One Spectra on an Accurate 50 reel and a Super Seeker 6463 XXXH rod.
Mike Kaneen of Hunting Beach won second place for a 218-pound tuna. He got it with a double sardine rig on the boat’s kite rig: 7/0 Super Mutu hooks on 130-pound Izorline and 130-pound Izorline Spectra, with an Accurate 50 reel and a Super Seeker 6463 XXXH rod. He also had a 213-pounder.
