BIG BISCUIT BAGS FIRST (082910)!!! Frank LoPreste docked his Royal Polaris at Fisherman's Landing August 29 after a five-day trip with 30 anglers that visited the Baja coast, Cedros and Benitos Islands and offshore waters south of Ensenada. The first spots produced big Yellowtail and a first-place White Seabass. Offshore waters popped out over a hundred Yellowfin Tuna on Saturday for the boat. The trip was a chef's special, with four chefs teaching interested anglers how to prepare special dishes, which drew raves from many of the anglers. Sushi On A Roll president Jeff Roberto, whose reservations-only place is on National Avenue near Petco Park, was a featured chef, as was Steve Black, executive chef and the Sheraton San Diego. (Steve caught a personal best Yellowtail of 32 pounds.) RP regular chefs Brett and James joined the guest chefs. "We had limit-style Yellowtail fishing," said first-place winner Kathy Rounds to dock reporter Bill Roecker, "and we got some nice rockfish and we chased a lot of small Yellowfin on porpoise. They wouldn't stick with the boat, but everyone got a few." Kathy had a 40-pound White Seabass that she caught with a sardine on a 4/0 Owner Super Mutu Gorilla hook tied to 40-pound blue Izorline with 65-pound Izor Spectra backing on an Accurate BX-2 500 reel and a Calstar 700 M rod. "I was winding my bait in," said Kathy, "when the fish rushed up and bit it right at boatside. I saw him take it. He ran off with about half my line, toward the weeds and rocks, but he didn't get in there. He fought about 20 minutes and came up in the starboard corner." Gerald Brown of Lynwood won second place for a 39-pound Yellowtail. He said it bit a sardine on a 3/0 Owner Gorilla hook and 30-pound Seaguar fluorocarbon backed with 30-pound Izorline on a Newell 338 reel and a Calstar 530 rod. Barry Morita of Gardena won third place for a 37.4-pound Yellowtail.
