Nice job on the yellow, Andy.
As we were heading back in, Julie managed a couple of nice bonito about 9:30AM, one on the B/W Storm plug, the other on a megabait. Otherwise, it was slow for us.
You made the right call to make bait at the pier. It looked like about 10 yakkers, including us, were having a helluva time making bait past the yellow cans. We worked at it for a good hour for 6 spanish between us. Sabikis were tipped with squid, and we put out chum, to little avail. Last week it was all you wanted. Funny how quickly conditions change out there.
Our luck ran out with seals stealing bait, too. We've had very good luck avoiding them for the most part. But, today one wily SOB, followed us until he got 5 out of our 6 baits. Even when we waited til he was out of sight to put the baits out, he still got 'em. The only other bait was lost to kelp.
As far as that wind. It blows. Brutal for us, but I guess it depends on your kayak
