Crazy. Any intel on where they found their fish? Morning run got the fish. Nothing in the pm.

I bet that boat is PACKED today ...

No fun if you are use to solo kayak fishing ......

Thinking they are in range of yakers.

was the same last sunday, the PM got 69 yellowfin, while the AM caught a couple bass and 1 yellowtail. I saw the new seaforth out in la jolla in the morning, but didnt see where they were in the pm.

We knew they had been getting them so were looking for them. Pretty sure it was the NSF fishing about 11- 12 miles out.

I go on the NSF and Premier out of H&M pretty much once a week or every other week. With as hot as the tuna and the yellow tail are right now, I have found that, for me, its just not worth the hassle. The fishing is great. The crowds are not.

I lost my biggest yellow tail couple weeks ago because no one moves, no one watches their lines and there are just way too many people crammed on the boats right now. Really frustrating. Both boats crews are great but there's just too many dingbats that dont know what they are doing. Then there are the guys that really know what they are doing and try to muscle other people around to get where they want to go.

If you do decide to go and brave the crowds, I would suggest HEAVY gear. Bring your stiffest rod so you can steer the fish, 65lb to 40lb flouro so you dont have to worry about letting them run too much, and walk with your fish no matter what. I happened to hook that big yellow on my lightest gear (8ft Proteus MH, Saltist HC30 and 65lb braid to 30lb flouro) and I felt like I didnt have complete control over it. My rod tip was literally touching the water with me standing straight up lol.

another tip, if you are fly lining, fling that bait WAAAAAAAY out. As far as you can. 80% of the people throw out 5 feet in front of them or drop straight down so theirs lines and bait going every direction close to the boat. All my hookups were way out past everyone. Or you could always be nuts and post up at the back of the boat behind the bait tank.

They were 11-15 out west from LJ.

I was on a PB. We could see the coast easy. Plunker bite

NW 9. Was on that plunker bite. Almost got spooled by a toad till he broke me off. Happened to my buddy too. Pretty epic day nonetheless.
