1/13 first good fish for 2015
Fished La Jolla solo yesterday, launched at first light and headed north to load up on bait. Easy pickings dropping on marks in 80 feet out in front of the pier. small to medium greenbacks, tossed back a couple spanish and had one nice medium sardine. My plan was to soak a bait and yoyo my arms off for YT fished 160 to 175 feet, next to no current all morning made for no action almost all morning long. Lots of whales, light winds and fry and birds all over, 62 degree water seemed almost like a Spring morning out there.



I moved into 110 feet and looking over the side saw lots of red crab suspended. drifted and yoyoed por nada. Finally thinking it is time to go, decided to try one last drift for halibut in tight to the kelp. Remembering that sardine I pinned it on and sent it down drifting into 92 feet with the rod in hand I hooked up............talk about a Hail Mary play. Stoked to start the new year with fresh tasty fish. Stoked!



I am going to let King Anthony sweat on the weight

Curious how you rigged it?
Carolina
Dropper loop
3-way swivel
Im experimenting with these, but havent decided which i really like, although the 3-way swivel seems to always get twisted.
Thanks
I was rigged up for YT and love the 3 way swivel over the dropper loop. I use Carolina rigs trolling for WSB and fishing for halibut in shallower water like under 30 feet. I was dropping mackerel to the bottom in 170 feet so I had a 12 oz torpedo, I had some 5 oz I should have switched out when I fished under 100 feet, but was lazy and it was my last drift, I figured rod in hand would work to just dip the tip and swing when I got bit. Fish was hooked decent in the bottom jaw and came up vertical. Then laying it out pedaling it was white side up, tricky getting it where I wanted it to gaff. As far as twisting when you can get away with it 50# mono is nice and stiff.

Hi Andy,

I wanted to fish with you like I said at the HOW event,
but I forgot that I had promised the wife a trip
to Vegas for three days starting Monday. Maybe next time.
