Skipped LJ, hit the bay - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I changed up and decided to give LJ a pass and go look for halibut. Did a 5:30 launch from kellog street. Played with the spotties for a while then went to the barge for sardines before heading out to Cabrillo.

The Good: I hooked up two Halibut. Now I know what the bite feels like and how to wait.

The bad: I lost both...

One got up close enough to see, and then with one extra tug took off with my trap rig. The other one broke the trap rig as soon as I started to pull. These were store-bought rigs...I'll be making some of my own with some 50# mono tonight! I had several raked baits as well.

The only drag today was that half the Navy went by - LA-class sub, 4 FF / DDG, an oiler/tender...and tons of those overpowered security boats and SEAL fast boats. It was a wake fiesta.
