La Jolla is overrated...
You guys kicked some serious buttttt!
And a few yella's to boot!!!
BAD ASS DAY!!!!
The faces were all familiar - it was great to finally get to meet some of you in person. It was my pleasure to be your photo biatch! The pics turned out super cool - that little added height above the water makes a big difference! I can already see some on the cover of major kayak fishing publications!
As slow as it can be, you've got to love fishing for halibut when you know they're there fo' sho... It DOES NOT suck to know exactly where!
They always seem to eventually move in on the squid beds, but with all the squid up and down the coast, it's been tough to pin them down any given day... At least it was for us, this year.... Up until recently.
And once you find them, it's amazing how stacked up they can be!
We didn't do well on quantity, but made up with one quality species. For the 1st time in about 15 years that I've been pounding South CA sand, I broke 40!!! I lost count of how many > 30lbs halibut I caught long time ago... I caught longer, I caught wider...
But never caught a fatter one.
43 and a change!
We left a gaping hole in the ocean that day!!!
