That's the great thing... when there are waves, we get barrels... when it's flat, we fish. How bad can it be??? My own dad fished with me last year and caught a few, too. So both are now in the mix. Even better, Niko is now 11 and has the bug... all we need now is a tandem (had to leave mine in Hawaii... too much to ship).
The crazy thing was that when we passed the kelp going back in, there was bait EVERYWHERE!!!
All kinds and all sizes... couldn't believe it. I'm almost thinking evening session next time... easy bait, bounce-ball, a Pacifico ballena and sunset.
Oh yeah, I did go over the YT spot and picked up some big marks on the bottom... unfortunately nobody home this time.
