La Jolla 5-11-15 Double - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hey Mark,

What a day! Congrats on those two beautiful fish. Gabe and I couldn't stop talking about your fish all the way home!

Although you took off before Gabe and I, just like you, we were stuck trying to get bait. Frustrating!! Bait popping all over the place, but, not biting. My frustrations continued thru out the day. I put myself in the right place, at the right time, but no takers. With boiling fishing all around me, my heart was pounding for most the day!

Nice double Mark! I gotta get out there with you again. How was the traffic on the water?

Just a few personal boats, provably about 7 or 8 kayaks all day and the Chubasco went by once. Heard then call the lifeguards when they were in south LJ, they had a passenger that had passed out and were asking for assistance. The other passengers provably wanted him off the boat so they could continue their fishing day, Ha Ha.

This is a picture I took of the fileted Yellowtail for HOW. I got 14.9 lbs out of almost 44 lb. I had never compared the gross weight to the net, but 1/3 seems about right. It sure beats the small rock fish I caught for then on Saturday, all put together they provably would have made 3 tacos.

TJones that really sucks loosing your Tady 45 especially before landing any fish with it. I hate those seals and wish there was a bounty on them lazy pieces of Sh*t. They are starting to be a real pain again maybe it's the increase in personal and half day boats out there now. I had several large ones steal my bait and a very large one came up and took my green back mac 1.5 feet from the side of me while I was trying to untangle the braid from around the end of my fishing pole. It was provably 250+ lbs and I didn't even see it till it was taking the mac right on the surface. Good thing he didn't take the hook or he would have rolled me.

Driftwood the picture you re-posted is almost the exact spot I caught both Yellows at.
