La Jolla halibut - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have been a member of this site for a little while and I want to thank all of the contributors who spend the time to report and inspire the rest of us to go fishing. I love to read all of the reports and now feel that it is my turn to contribute too. I fished la jolla last sunday. I trolled a rapala around outside the kelp for nada. Except donating one to a small mako who I saw jump a couple times before biting me off. Fearing the skunk I headed inside and drifted a mackerel for this 36 inch 16 pound halibut. I also threw some plastics for some small calicos. It was nice to get back out on the water and I was lucky enough to take some steaks home for dinner too.
