Went out on the skiff yesterday. Launched about 6:15am. Trolled and metered around for yellows until 9-10 then fished rockfish in 85-100’ until 12ish. Looked around again for yellows and found barracuda and calico pushing up bait In and around the kelp. Threw colt snipers and surface irons for a flurry of hook ups. Fun day. Also witnessed a giant ling attacking a 20 plus inch barracuda my buddy hooked up on. Ling attacking a cuda? WTH was the ling doing hunting cuda on the surface? Fun day 61-62* water.

Nice haul of fish. We’re any of the cuda legal sized?

How do you "find" yellows or rockfish? I got a new fish finder and was wondering if there's something specifically that you look for. Thanks!

The cuda were definitely close to being legal size but I didn’t measure.
When looking for rockfish learn how to read hard bottom and structure on your fish finder.
Trying to find yellows is hard. Sight fish by looking for boils, trolling, seeing them on fish finder.
Plenty on here that are much much much better than me when it comes to yellows.

My boy and I made it out for the noon/afternoon wind. Straight out off of the point. Is that big white building that faces northwest the condos?

Straight off there in about 60-80feet. Caught maybe 6 calico - 2 keepers but most importantly - boys first catch of 2020 and his birthday .

The LJ Condo building that most of us refer to, is the Large grey building that is south of the Cove and like 1/2 a block from the Children's Pool (NOT THE FRICKIN sea lion pool, you hear that Looser Major). On this picture taken today it is on the right side of the picture. Today turned out to be a beautiful day (weather wise, Not fishing wise).
