Malibu 8/24
 

Snags and I started with the sun coming up over the hills and launched the kayak through the surf. Launch was easy since the waves were really small.

conditions were great all morning. no swell and no wind.

fished the kelp all morning with various lures and swim baits. Later we trolled lures along the edge of the kelp and both techniques caught fish.

Snags caught 6 calico (biggest 18"), 1 sandbass, a few macs and a juvi WSB
I caught 2 Calico a few macs and a short baracuda

of the 8 Calico that we caught at least half were legal size.

Very nice.

Nice calicos, especially the last pic!

Nice to see some kelp. We haven't seen any down here in so long almost forgot what it looked like.

That kelp canopy sure looks nice. Glad you guys had a productive trip!

That's what Kelp on top looks like? Wow Im jealous..Malibu sounds like a spot I need to try before water cools. Where did you launch?
