Malibu 1/9 PM Negative Tide
The rain didnt stop me today.
Over the hill, rocks exposed up and down the coastline, easy shore launch, glassy water. Got over to the launch at 2:30 today got on the water at 2:50PM Fished the kelp for about 45 minutes, not a single bite. Paddled around for a while and the rain started pouring hard. Lucky i was wearing waders and a rain jacket. Stayed dry. Switched out jigs and that did the trick. First fish - 16 1/2 inch Calico Bass. Bit one crank off the bottom. Paddled more and the rain let up, found some loaded boiler rocks! Second fish - 11" calico released. Third fish - 6lb 22" fat calico released Fourth fish - boiling to the surface 2 feet from he kayak bites and unbottons Fifth fish - 10" calico released Starts raining again Sixth fish - short calico slaps baits at the surface and mised the bait. About another 3-4 shortbites and another 5 lb calico in the pouring rain which was also released. The ocean was amazing today no wind at all. |

Thanks for the report. Great job figuring out what they wanted. It's nice to know that the bite is still good when it rains.

In the area I usually fish, I have noticed that when the water is clear, its really hard to get a consistent bite. However once it started raining it stirred the water and murked the water just slightly THE BITE WAS ON. Left them biting. |
