Thinking of Trying for Tuna Sunday - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Good luck.
Sounds like conditions are better down there.

Went outside DP on wed taking a couple macks for a swim. Lots of life; dolphin, terns, bait balled up under my yak but water was a bit green. Radio wasnt too exciting either except for guys fishin S @ the9 or 302. Baits made it all the way back to SoLag only to be eaten by a thresher and a calico. Badass baits! They died well.

Had the same off of San O on Sun. Although we got turned back early by the lightning. We made it out about 6 miles and found lots of Chovies and birds, but nothing to go with em.

Come down to LJ guys! Tourmaline will be an easy launch and will save us 5 miles or so. I'm definitely gonna take the prowler this time.

I went with my buddy on his boat on Saturday. We tried launching from DP, but they were full by 8:30. We then headed down to oceanside, launched, got a scoop of sardines from the barge ( all 5 of them, the rest macs). Chased a huge pod of dolphins for a few hours but no luck. Tried the butterfly jig and some irons along with live bait to no prevail. While trolling the cedar plug I managed to get this guy!!! Only fish on deck, but we're rookies so we were happy!

Reports from the 9 have gotten a lot better in the last two days, and there's always the off chance of a paddy for yt or dodo. Please someone come with me!

I'd like to but worried I'd slow you down, or I might not make it back!! I have an X Factor. If I go, I'd have to leave at zero dark 30, to get far enough off Shore. How long does it take you to get that far paddling?
