Birthday Special 5/1 LJ
5/1 Jim N. and I launched at LJ at 5:30am, at least 6 other kayakers on the water. Tiny surf and calm seas, not much wind at all in the am.
Bait was easily bade near the kelp. Water temp about 63 deg. Before I started a slow troll with a flyline mac, I got picked up. I estimate that I fought the fish for 1/2 hr. Seals were near by, but left me alone. Just as I got the fish to color my rod snaped in half , it was a Black Sea Bass. My friend Jim N, estimated the BSB at 60-90lbs, the biggest fish of my life. After a while we finally got it to swim back down. Wish it would have been a white, but still an epic day for me. Didn't see too much else going on out there, I heard that a PB got a yellow. - Jeff |

It's always cool to see one of those beasts. Good job taking the time to get it to go back down. I went out in the afternoon and managed to make bait, but the sea lions were the only takers for those. The water is still a nasty brown color close to and in the kelp.

I went out in the late afternoon also, only place I could make bait was just outside of the kelp. Made a bunch of greenies only to have the "dogs" wipe me out. No matter how far away I thought I was from the thieves, they came from now where to steal my bait.. very dissapointing. No fish for me but talked to another kayaker who said he got 1 small YT.
