8/24 La Jolla - Mr. Bonito, meet Wasabi

Launched just after 4:30 am with Jared, and headed out to the 'spot'.

It was bumpy and breezy all morning. No bites for the first 3 1/2 hours.

Then, Jared got a double hookup 100 yards away, and landed both
yellows. How dare they ignore my magic bucktail!

Jared headed in and the birds started swirling in shallower near the point.

I caught a couple bonito on the surface iron and then got rocked by a
yellow on a yo-yo iron in 70' of water (shallow), sacrificed my favorite Iron
Man #5 blue and white to that fish.

I trolled live bait, then drifted for halibut for nothing. Off the water by
3:30, landed in pretty rough surf, went for a swim on purpose to keep the
kayak upright! Very crowded and comical, there were dozens of kayaks
(crashing) in the surf zone at any given time.

Anyway, couple pictures ....













Here is a little better picture of Jared's double hookup on irons ....




Here is a long video of Jared battlng his second yellowtail ...

On Saturday, my family and I tried out San Diego Bay for the first time
with the DORA rods. The girls had a good time releasing a few spotties.
