DP 5/18

Launched around 7am for the fish with friends tournament run by Dana Point Kayak and Jet Ski.

Weather didn't start out to great, it was rather windy throughout the morning, but it finally cleared up to become a very nice day. Starting trolling a mac to look for some WSB... no luck. Switched it up looking for some bass and got a PB 4lb 7oz calico on a bighammer. Caught a few more bass then the bite slowed on the plastics, so I went to flylining sardines.

The first sardine is in the water... About 20 seconds later something hammers it and starts to run. As I get it closer to the kayak I cant believe it, but its a small yellowtail. First ever yellow from the kayak, not to mention it won me the tourny. Just shy of 25 inches, it was small, but I was very happy.

The bass were really hitting live bait today in the afternoon. Video to come.
