No bait were harmed to create this message. :cry:

Launched today around 730. Figured that it's been so slow lately, some beginners luck was called for. To that end, I figured I was already a beginner, but to make doubly sure I brought my son (DirtMeister, age 10) for his first day out of La Jolla. Launch was a bit tricky, with long waits for lulls and a couple of waves to the face for both of us. During the paddle out a few big swells, but it calmed down by 9ish. We worked straight out from the launch in 140 to about 210, and from around 930-11 there was lots of fish on the meter. Able to grab a couple greenies and a couple sardines. Meister fished live bait and I tried yo-yoing the iron. Managed a pair of very ambitious macks on the iron, but that's it. Nobody interesting was biting. Water was properly colored in honor of St. Patrick's Day, and pretty trashy near the launch.

Tman - nice to meet you, and thanks for the tips. 8)
