Late report
Well went out Monday for the first time in a month, I never had that much trouble getting out of La Jolla, oh well. Water is clean and the temp is up seems like a good day. Get out there by 6:00 and it seems fishy, bait balls start busting by 7:30. See some nice big backs cruising pushing bait so I pick up the iron make a perfect throw and BAM I am on instantly. Hit like a mack track and pulling like a tractor, a few minutes of pulling and down she goes right into kelp that I can not see, but I can feel it on my line. No worries I have 30 lb spectra on, yeh right, fish proceeds to spin fcking charlottes web down there, before I know it I can not even feel the fish, again no big deal I have spectra on, well shit I start playing the game give line reel back up it will work its way out.
20 min later still locked down no sign of a pulse, completly knotted down there, pull pull pull SNAP , I thought I broke the rod, the line poped and I am in disbalief. I have never lost a fish in the kelp with braided, have pulled a dozen out, but this sucks. Wide open bite on barries and bones but no other takers on yellows. La Jolla is hot right now and will probably get hotter with the grunion running this week. Locked into work the rest of the week Get out and get some should be a hell of a week. Good luck to all |
