Looks like a baby black seabass fry.

I think that's what the birds were splashing on. I wasn't marking them but the birds were busy everywhere. The only thing I was marking on Sat. were cudas and the occasional school of mixed mackerel. Seems really fishy out, just waiting on the right conditions. I a friend of mine thinks the bite has a lot to do with barometric pressure. Something to do with the fish being more active before a storm.

I'll see if I can't get the fry ID'ed...

Little-t tail slapped the rapala just off NW corner of preserve as I was rounding the corner around 6 AM. For a moment, hoped it was a solid YT, but it started towing me pretty fast and I figured it was a cartilege skeleton of some sort. Thanks for the help with the release and pix guys. Nice shot of the fish underwater!
Fishing was similar to day before. Tons of spaniards and cudas around kelp. Had good hookup on the bottom bait later in morning and the head shakes got my hopes up. But turns out is was about 20# BSB. I guess you could call it 'baby big fish day' for me. Still lots of fun to have some up and down action.

Wow cabezon, you'd never think.

Cool report.
Nice c&r Jimbo!
