PB report - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

slobslayer · 09-21-2012, 02:43 PM

Covered a lot of rough water today. Started at the islands to the 302 to the 182 and up the nine mile bank. Only two pieces of kelp found and neither held fish. Heading back into SD bay decided to make some bait for lobster season and try a few hali drifts. Drop down the sabiki and pulled up 3 baby YT. Very cool I thought. Lost one halibut and some raked bait. Should've taken the yak out and saved the gas...

If you hold them just right with your arms straight.........they can look enormous.

I thought about doing some trick photography stuff but i just wanted to get them back in the water.

i was out at the hidden bank on wednesday. trolled 5 hours for 3 tuna. on the way back, the upper hidden bank held 3 good sized paddies the size of a truck, and all 3 formed a triangle. drifted the middle for unlimited rat yellows on cut bait. radio'd people the coordinates but nobody responded.

hopefully all those "rats" grow up big and strong, realize they have no mortgage to pay, and move to La Jolla!

How nice to have an ocean full of little ones growing up!

Actually, a couple weeks ago, in my power boat's bait tank, we found a 6-inch White Seabass juvenile! How cool! A WSB in our bait scoop! Of course we released it to grow big, have thousands of babies, and feed all of us in the long run. (Or get eaten by a pelican.)

Those little yt are pretty. Did your's have sorta orange-ish bars on the sides? I've seen a few paddies over the years just loaded with them. Mike

Ya it had the bars depending on the reflection from the light. It was pretty cool to see them so close to home
