Still no Yellowtail
 

Went out again today to try for my first Calif yellowtail on my kayak. No such luck. Bait was harder to come by, mostly Spanish macs and what I did catch were taken by seals. I did manage to get another PB on this trip, so it wasn't a bad day. I even landed without flipping.
This baby was caught on a Spanish Mac in 100' on a halibut rig with a three-way swivel & 5 oz sinker

Dan, it was nice to meet you at the launch and thanks again for watching my gear while I went to get my truck.

42" at 28 pounds

Sven.....you really need to get a real on the water shot....not a sitting in my kayak on the sand shot!


Congrats helluva fish!!

Svendawg, sorry you didn't get your yellowtail, but that is a great consolation!:cheers1:

Congratulations on your PB. That is a great consolation prize.

WTG his sand shots are the best next time get a sandcastle in there

Ill take that any day of the week. Thanks for the report!!

Sven you are the man! Killing it!!

Way to go Sven. Your by catch is very impressive. Try for some rock fish and you might get your yellow.

Congrats, Sven, that's the only big fish I saw on LJ kayakers today.

Seals stole my bait 5 times. Yellowtail has a day off today.

Dan

Thanks for the report Sven.
Nice fish!
We're you kayaking home when that picture was taken? :)

WTG on the 'but. We'd call that an upgrade over the yellowtail you've yet to catch. Many of those will come, but 28lb flatties are rare.

NICE!!! :cheers1:

Nice butt Sven. That tail will come.

Sven-man...that butt is making you look like a normal sized person...lol. :luxhello:

Jim

Nice fish!!

I love the 'On the Kayak shot'!!!

No YT, Butt that will do!!!

Nice haul!

nice by-catch.

You sure make it hard to feel bad when you don't catch a yellowtail. Congrats on another very nice fish.

When down south next month try targeting a dorado, maybe that will get you the yellow bite.

Looks like Godzilla's distant cousin. Is that a PB for you? Awesome report!
