Place: Catalina
Select Lures: Flash Minnow 120DD / 110

It’s been a week since my last fishing trip and as I mentioned last time, my next destination became Catalina Island! YES!
As for the result, I will mention it at a later time… First, I would like to talk a little bit about Catalina Island!!
Catalina Island = Santa Catalina Island, which is the official name. The island is shaped kind of like a gourd or a pear and you need to either go on a boat or a plane to get there.
It is an island located near the southern California, America. From the Los Angeles port, it is located at south-southwest 38km away. Due to this close distance; they provide fast cruise ships which is very convenient for vacationing. It takes about 45minutes to an hour one way.
However, by going there for fishing purposes, it was a bit more difficult. This time we had to port from Newport (Davey’s Locker), and to get to our fishing point it took us 3 hours! I’ve never experienced such a long way to a fishing area before.
But we wanted to use this time wisely, so we made a film explaining a little bit about the lure we were going to use that day. It was the Flash Minnow 120DD and we talked about its function and color variations. The Flash Minnow 120DD will be sold in Spring of next year. Towards the end of the filming, a fisherman who is interested in lure fishing came up to us and said, “Oh~ you guys are from Lucky Craft!” And then I had told him, “Yes, and I always use this Flash Minnow 110”. There was actually a lot of Lucky Craft fans on the boat!
And fortunately until we arrived at the fishing spot, we were able to gain information on other good fishing locations as well as explaining our new products to some people and did a little bit of business. We got to use our traveling time very productively by getting to know the local anglers.
In the year 1547, Joao Rodrigues Cabrilho discovered this island and at the same time it used to be a pirate’s home base. And this island that used to be a pirate’s base is now a high-class resort where many people come for their honeymoon.

For my fishing report, it will be in part 2!!!
So please stay tuned for the next report! See you soon!
