Corona Del Mar 5/12

[doggmann]

Went out to the kelp beds in Corona Del Mar I got out at dawn, skipped the bait and started working the kelp with a 5" Calico Hunter swim bait. 3 sand bass for the day. Later I switched to a camo gulp grub and jigged it off the bottom and caught tree healthy sulpin all at 12". I'm guessing the Garibaldi are spawning since I caught three while jiggin on the bottom (all released).

Saw a handful of dolphins and a juvy gray whale 50 yards away. Weather was perfect... light breeze and small swells in the afternoon.
