Turners Bay 12-23-11

[ElectricChicken]

Got to Cal. Point about 10 am and went to Turners. Quite a few boats there already. Wind was kickin. Ended the day with 14 trout, 1 flounder and a 30lb red. My buddy had just netted a trout for me with one hand, put the net down, picked up his road and BAM! This monster red hits his bait right by a crab trap. We were drifting with the wind and the red went the other way and almost spooled him. Took 10 minutes to land and after pictures we let her go.
Not sure if I was doing the wrong thing in the right spot or not. Felt like we should have caught more than we did although I am thankful for what we did catch. I did not try the ship channel and maybe should have. Any thoughts?
