LJ 8-7
Fish continue to bite. Picked up three more today, all around 8-10lbs. Couldn't get the baits past the YT, so had to throw the iron to catch some 'cudas. Hope this keeps up.

It was a bit breezy in the early morning. Pretty bumpy conditions. Then it seemed to die out for a couple of hours. Then it started to come up again around 10:30 when I was landing. The current was really ripping and made for a hard paddle in.

Nelz, you saw that, huh? Did you catch those waves on your board?
That set definitely tightened us up a bit, and made us think of the rogue wave that Brad wrote about. Looked to be 15 feet from our perspective (non-surfer) as all three that rolled in then were definitely taller than our 12.5 foot kayaks.

Pretty big macs at the pier, most of mine were around 9 inches. Only one runt for me, released and some cuda, boney, and calicos. Hung out around NW and dragged south. Saw the NSF swing wide and look around the weather bouy before settling into the kelp, saw another sportie looking way off TP. Very fishy at dawn, big baitballs. Throwing the iron into them and hooking cudas. Loooooooong paddle in had me on the beach around 11:30.

This has been a great bite, remember when everyone was lamenting over the kelp disappearing, and its negative effect on the pelagics.... I never said that!! ops: I still hope it comes back!!

I'll need to remember Vellocity's idea of sacrificing a cuda or bonita (or in Vellocity's case, a yellowtail) the next time a furbag sets up watch waiting for me to land a yellowtail. Happened to me saturday. The yellow, nor I, never had a chance. Don't want to hurt the critters :twisted: but need a few M-80s to give the furbags a sore throat.
Nice haul Kurt. Is that three tails in two consecutive days?

I was just in front of A&J when that set rolled through, one guy in the rental was airborne off the back side of the wave. Sweet.
3 tails for me today 8#, 10#, and a 25 lber on the way in that took a monster mack. LOOOOONG paddle/peddle in, current was RIPPING!!! |

I have just been a little bitter since you had that 4 YT day. I have never had 4 in one day
I want to get my son out for his first (maybe WED), these are great size for your first.
