La jolla 2/13

Launched around 6am. Plenty of bait around. Had one raked bait on the bottom but that's it. I was fishing a 3 way swivel 2-3 cranks off the bottom. Not sure if the yellows are that far down or a little higher in the water column? Anyways didnt actually see anyone hook up...maybe I just wasn't paying attention though. Paddled in around noon.

Same story here. Easy making bait, but couldn't find the big fish. Didn't see anyone bendo either.

Dogs were absolutely relentless today...

Water looks good old seabass green, I would say it's about 10-15ft on the outside.

In the winter, yellows are found mostly on the bottom since
bait hangs out there because of the lower atmospheric pressure.
But with the red crabs still around, yellows can be found anywhere
these days. Watch for the bait on your FF.

Rakes are generally halibut indicators. Make sure and
waypoint the spot when you get raked for future reference.
Good luck.

Is our local mackerel edible in some pleasant way or is it always going to be bait?

Love to eat Macks. If you have a taste for oily fish.
Keep them fresh, fillet them, put them on the grill
and bath them in olive oil, lemon, oregano baste.
There's small bones to contend with, but that's
part of the fun. Oh, leave the skin on the fillets.

Or, have them sushi Japanese style: fillet with skin
on, them immerse in salt (dry) for an hour, then
vinegar for another hour. Slice into thin ribbons
and add to your salad.

Wow, there you go. Yanni

I've got a real good looking recipe for mackeral that I'm waiting to try, it even shows you how to get rid of the small bones. I need to make a Newport trip soon to pick up a few macs to try it on.

It's edible. Pretty sweet tasting too if you bleed and chill them farily quick. They have the stigma of being poor tasting, but they're pretty darn good. They're not really oily at all compared to Norwegian or Japanese Macs.
