Hit the jewel with my buddy who just joined the marines as an officer. His first time ever fishing and second time on a kayak....
Made bait. Tons of Spanish and greenies off the kelp. Filled the tank in two drops.
Off we went. First hit was on the greenie in about 120' just outside of making bait. 3/0 live bait hook with 65# braid and a 6' 25# flouro top shot. Trolled approximately 100' off the yak.
Handed it off to my buddy Connor (chuckie) and watched him get his ass kicked... Poor guy had no clue wtf he was doing! Anyways he had a quick learning curve and got the fish to color in no time! His first yellowtail and it was the biggest of the day (that we kept).
Saw some birds crashing out in the distance and made our way over to them. We both got slammed at the same time and got two more on the boat!
Stuck with the birds and continued to catch a total of 12 yellows all between 15-25 pounds.
We kept a total of 4 fish. Released 8. Left em biting and boiling!
Back before noon with smiles and sunburns!
