Quick trip to La Jolla yesterday am- launched at first light. Bait was tough to get- got one Spanish so I fly-lined it immediately and searched for more. I always use a heavy sibiki with a megabait for a weight...good thing. Saw a mark at the bottom in 60 ft of water-- Surprised by this 19lb halibut just off of the kelp.
To work by 8:30 - great morning! Pictures are dark but the fish was fat
