6/9/13 - DP Yields New Species For Me - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

iethinker · 06-10-2013, 09:04 AM

Hello everyone at BigWatersEdge.com. This is my first post having only started kayak fishing this season. I have had some great fishing thus far anywhere from Del Mar to Dana Point to Belmont Shores.

Anyway, I hit Dana Point again on Sunday June 9th at 6AM. The water conditions were awesome being "glassy" all of the way out and during my session at the headlands kelp.

The catch consisted of many Calocos at least three being legal. Since I caught and tasted some of these last week, all Calicos were catch & release. I also hooked-up with two sheepsheads with one being well beyond legal at 16".

I must say the taste and meat yield of the sheephead was so good that I can't promise all catch and release for future legal sheepsheads. This is the best eating fish I have taken several years of fishing the southern California coast.

I look forward to meeting members of this forum in the future to swap advice and stories. Specifically, some advice on clothing for surflaunching and staying dry. Busting through waves has left me wet and cold at times.
