LA jolla skunk

[ivanwang811]

I headed out from lajolla yesterday to try to catch my first yellow on a kayak. Clearly didn't happen. Launched at 7am and took a pounding from the waves. Bait wasn't difficult to make although most were Spanish macks. Started out with the yoyo and dropped on any good marks. Also tried a Carolina rig with a mack on the bottom. That didn't works so I started trolling flyline outside the kelp line. Bait got nervous a few times but also nothing. Before I headed in, I spotted a bird school diving into the water. I chased it down and got a couple casts in but it turned out to be sea lions feeding on something. Can anyone explain this behavior? I've heard of sea lions throwing around thresher sharks so that might be what was happening. I got a picture but its hard to depict what is happening
