It wasn't Bat Fight season but Will, AKA, ''Cheez'' came out from Arizona to take a trip on The Cyclops. Conditions were not the best in the forecast but they were doable. We launched out of South Shores and made our way to La Jolla. All was quiet at the ramp.

Conditions turned out to be ok, we still had a few rollers but all in all it was good.

Found bait balls on the Fish Finder, couldn't get the Macks in the boat fast enough, they were big and feisty 8) Sabiki was on fire as well as lures too. Filled the live wells with over a dozen each 8)

I think we headed back in around 1:30 or so, came into Mission Bay to see the chaos of the boat races. This was on Friday so I can imagine the Chit Show on Saturday ???

Thanks for the Visit, Cheez, we will do it again real soon 8)
I need to make a reservation.
Great report Tim! You could have been going 65 knots in those seas! Just skip like a rock!
Good to see the big Cheeze with some nice surf shark bait! I'd kill for a dozen bonito that size this fall for the sevengills!

We were scooting right along a few times, had to back off a bit as it got rough, I hate the SLAP ;D Cheez had fun, we go way back, at least 30 years so we will be doing it again soon 8)

If I had known I would have kept em! It was a great time out on the water, Tim's always a gracious host!
one of the best sights of the day didn't make it into the report though....(https://i.imgur.com/qLK2V7Z.jpg)
