"We are headed back to San Diego after a few trips to the local islands," posted Independence May 27. "It was a challenge due to naval and marine closures as well as tough weather at times. We did manage to catch some nice fish anyway. Here are a few pictures from the trips. Our last trip produced 27 White Sea bass to 25 pounds, 9 halibut to 40 pounds, 4 yellowtail to 26 pounds along with some calicos and bottom grabbers. We will depart next Saturday on the season opener 8-day. We want to thank everyone who made one of trips with us and hope to see you soon on one of our long range trips."
