Today was no better than yesterday. Lots of Sardines (?) breaking in multiple spots but alas nothing biting anything. I tried plastics, irons, macks, lizard fish, and squid, all to no avail. The only fish I caught today were on the sabiki.... oh ya I almost forgot.... I did get one small 18in, Halibut off the bottom with the iron early on.

I did see the dolphins thrashing about, and I thought I saw one with a large YT in its mouth, I was so Jealous! but it was aways off so I could have been seeing things.

Any day now................!

My trip to LJ this morning was ok.

I got a couple of Sandies, one at 16 & another at 18.25 inches.

I also got this ling. My 2nd one. Got at the same spot I found his brother at last week.

Ling 25in. just shy of 5lbs.


Also picked up a boney...

...no luck on the rockfish, halibut, YT, or WSB.

Maybe tomorrow on something larger and keepable.

I went out when you guys were coming in around noon. The current keep pushing me back towards the cove so I stays in the 50-60 foot depth range a few hundred yards from the reserve, pitching a croc for small fish. I had a squid on a #3/O hook with a lightly weighted carolina rig dead sticked for a bigger fish. At 2:15 P.M. it got hit real good. Took about 15 seconds to unpin the rod from the flushmount. It pulled harder than anything I ever caught out there. It was on for several minutes towing me out to sea when the line went slack. I had visions of a very large wsb for those two minutes though. The line broke at the hook so it's back to knot tieing school. Even with 40# fluoro, if the knot is weak a big fish can break you off. And I was so hoping St. Patricks Day would be my lucky day.

I had that very scenario last week (Monday). I was so stoked for about 2 minutes,
then the line snapped. Since then I've been considering different line options.

...at least you got a big hit.

wavster, what line are you fishing? I STRONGLY suggest izorline. I've fished most of the products they make and love it all. I got hung up rock fishing with Capt. Ron on the Chubasco 2- we were drifitng and my 40 pound blue izor anchored the boat.

I'm using 25# Andy line (mono) that was put on the reels I bought from SquidCo.

Last week, I lost 6 irons and another today. SquidCo must love me every time I come
in to replace them...

I've bought some of my reels from them and if you want more expensive line they'll credit you the price of the cheap stuff towards a better grade of line. They are good about making you happy.
