Now I know why you have all those cameras on your yak. Even though I was only a few feet from you when you fought and landed that nice YT, I think that the video was more fun than the live action. I missed you giving the fish a little goodbye kiss just before you released it. Nice gesture.

Hey Mark, thanks for the info. Your info helps out a lot! I went out again on Saturday with my girlfriend. We launched from mission bay, caught some mackerel at the mouth of the harbor and motored up to La Jolla. I trolled a Rap 10 for the distance we weren't in an MPA. We caught a bonito! We don't get bonitos up north. We sat on the reef at la jolla for a 3-4 hours. My girlfriend fished for rockfish with squid, couldn't get anything of decent size to take home. There was no wind so the drift sucked. I tried flylining a mack and also added some weight, no takers. Next time.

FYI...When we bottom fish with live bait in norcal for halibut I'll add a trailing treble hook so you might want to try that if your baits keep getting racked

Yeah adding a trailing treble hook is what I was thinking next time I decide to drift it on the bottom.
