Point Sur, California
We towed the boat to Monterey on Thursday, launched and took a 25-mile run down the coast to Point Sur. Our depth was 100 to 120 feet. Fishing was fast and easy. We had four stringers of nice fish for the four of us, limits all around.

The big stringer was probably 70 pounds of beautiful vermillion. The second stringer was easily 40 pounds. We also kept the smaller ones because of the 100 foot depth we were fishing. Basically, the first 40 fish that bit all died! My thinking is that anything that you hoist up from a 100 foot depth is going to suffer some degree of barotrauma. I know that this is contrary to conventional thinking. People say that fish can survive if they are quickly repressurized, but I prefer to keep those fish rather than take others. Less than 60 feet and I will release them. Anything more than that and they're a meal.
