I launched at 6:00am, there was already a good size crowd catching bait just past the buoys so I paddled on towards the NW corner thinking I would catch bait on the way. Lost my sabiki to some dead kelp so I pulled out some gulp 6" mackerel that I've been carrying around since the FH show. Put a 2oz slider on it and slow trolled it near the bottom and picked up 3 lings out in front of the hotel in 80'. The first was short, the second was 25" and released because I was looking for WSB, the third was 30" and I decided to eat him. Fished a little longer with the gulp and picked up a WSB that might have been barely legal or not, when I was trying to measure it the fish flopped just right and released itself. Headed back to the beach with an 8lb 6oz ling for dinner.

This guy was carrying around an old hook.
