07/19 - LJK

Ron and I fished North LJK from 7A-3P. It was amazing weather of course, but we had zero current all day and little to no wind to help us move through the matt. Water seemed a little murked, maybe 12 ft vis and kinda chill but not cold. Bite was a little slow but we did have a full wildlife adventure.

Ron pulled a 7lbs calico early in the am (on the spring scale and she was long). He also had a 150lbs BSB track his jig back to the boat and then boil at the bow. I saw the thing surface, fins and tail, it was huge to say the least. A battle that would not have been won. We found a puddling 18lb yellowtail in an open area between stringers. We threw some baits at it. It did show interested, but we weren't tricky enough. Lots of rockfish, crabs, cailcos and a 23.75 ling cod, he was close....











Super fun day with a good friend. All fish caught on the War Jig with eevolve plastics as trailers and a cocktail of Hot Sauce and UniButter. Most Calicos were in 58-60ft of water with the other creatures in 70ft.

I didn't know that Calicos could get that big! Great close-up shots, esp. the Lings' mouth! Thanks for the tips.

Hey Afran,
I'm the dude that was bugging you back at the launch for the report. Glad to see the actual photos. That calico is a Hoss! Nice work.
