Have any you guys caught yellowtail out of dana point andif so is it common to catch them here or is that rare

It can be done for me rare off the kayak at least. This one was July 29 2015. Red boy off the headlands in 150 ft of warm water.

Keeping in mind that 2015 was an el nino year and the conditions were a bit abnormal.

With all this warm water around, you never know though. Could always run into a school passing through.

...like last night. Near the red buoy: super clear water, stiff current, and working terns and gulls. Prime yt conditions. Sadly I was only rigged for a paddle.

I don't know what's more disappointing, someone fishing from a keyboard or another guy trolling in the "zone" with out his gear!

A nice catch is made at Dana Point every now and then.
