Skunk in July 13 , LJ

I'm regressing to the old-school habit of posting recent LJ conditions (yesterday) - catch or no catch.

Wind/waves - minimal.
Live squid in LJ? Yes - smallish and hitting hoochie-type sabiki rigs in early light (and after if you can find them).
YT? Yes - occasional nice grade coming through most of the morning and hitting dead and live squid on dropper loop - 80 to 100 ft off hotel.
Red crabs - yep, and lots of them, but a bit inside of where fish were being caught.
Eel grass - a pain.

Personal report - one YT lost (dropper loop, dead squid with stinger) at color after it reversed direction, with slack line wrapping tip of pole. When fish saw the yak it reversed direction with wrapped line snapping pole tip and spectra. Saw it return to the strand of kelp near the yak with new "bling" attached to it's mouth (It was smiling at me when it cruised by). DOH!
