I hope this is useful for anyone planning on heading out to DP. I went out around 5 pm on Thursday. Water was warm (by touch) and bumpy. Never really settled down, odd given that wind wasn't bad and the surf was micro. The high tide had just finished, seemed like plenty of water moving. the sea lions and dolphins were feeding.



because the sailing club was out in full force near the mile markers I fished the headlands near the red bouey. I didn't want to run the risk on being "sailed over" or deal with that kind of traffic.



Easy bait to make, mix of spanish and bigger model green backs. Two solid hook ups that I determined to be sharks of some sort. Felt the fish take the bait, run and then as I began to reel er in, big bendo then snap.


Current/breeze kept me moving around. and ended up with a twisted mess. I really need to invest in some rod holders to keep them out and away from one another.



moved inside to the kelp for some calico action for about 30 minutes. small takers on the swim bait, nothing too exciting but quite satisfying somehow. nothing beats a sunset or sunrise on the water.





So, now up to you... show me how it's done!
