South Kelp--today
 

Reporting from the Maria Celeste Hotel-San Quintin.
Swell 3-4 not a factor. Perfect conditions....0 winds all morning...77 degrees. Made easy bait 3 at a time. Paddled straight out about 1 1/2 miles to 90 ft. Got picked up on the way out...fely like the lazy tug of a WSB....hit it twice but wouldn't eat it. The bite came on at 9am and I hooked 3 yellowtail on dead macks only to have all three stolen by a damned sea lion....the f*^#er wouldn't leave me alone....he wouldn't take the macks but wait till I hooked up and then surface throwing the fish and ripping it apart....I didn't think they could eat so much.
If it wasn't for bad luck...........

James, thanks for the south kelp report, I really want to get back, fish action sounds great!!!

Sounds like the fishing is good. If only there were boats around there to pass the seals off too :twisted: . Thanks for the info. I can't wait to get back down there. How big were the yt?
