Cabo Yellowfin

My first post, part two.....

I've been fishing off Palmilla beach for about 4 years, mostly catching small Cabrilla and Pargo. The goal has been to enjoy the spectacular scenery, get some exercise and hopefully catch a few keepers for dinner. Once in a while I catch one worthy of a photo, more often not.

I had all but given up on bait fishing. Chunk bait worked once, but otherwise brought in nothing but pesky Triggerfish. Jigging for brown bait was hit-or-miss and too much trouble. So I've gone to all artificial, mostly Lucanus jigs bounced off the bottom, Megabaits or Krocodiles.

This trip the local bait guys were netting sardinas right off the nearby rocks and the fleet was fishing just a mile straight out. How could I resist? I tried several times using a bait bucket, no love. Finally I jury rigged an old OEX bait tank to my new Hobie and sonofagun, I got one. Lively bait was the key.

This small yellowfin is a milestone for me, my first kayak tuna. I wonder if they will be this close to shore ever again?....
