Fished out at La Jolla on Labor day weekend and the weather was amazing. First morning out caught some mackerel for bait and started trolling them around fly lined. After a couple of hours finally had something pulling drag and got me a little excited. After three unsuccessful trips maybe I'd finally hook a fish! So I put the clicker into gear and the fish starts running. The battle went a few minutes and a nice guy fishing near me helped gaff it to land my first yellowtail every and I caught it on the kayak! It wasn't huge but I was stoked. Will include pics and video.
Then Monday went out in the dense fog and didn't caught a squid and some green backs. Was trolling the squid on a weighted line and a fly lined mackerel as well. Right away had a tug on the squid that got off. Kept trolling the squid and had another hit on it. Stopped and lowered it to the bottom and something grabbed onto it, I set the hook and nothing. So lost my only squid. Kept trolling the mackerel and had a sealion steal my bait. He stole a couple more from me. I have have had another hit. Then I tried lowering a mackeral to the bottom for a bit and something grabbed it as soon has it hit the bottom. I let it shew on it for a bit then set the hook. Nothing though. Reeled it up and there was a big halibut chomp on the mackerel. Too bad I didn't get him, those were pretty wide jaws, probably a good one.
