San Pedro 5/5/19
Went out to Cabrillo yesterday morning with a buddy. It was his first time Yak fishin.
On the water by 0700, made bait by 0730, 7-10 lizard fish and a couple of sardines. Reverse droppers for halibut and dropshot/jig fishing for bass. Get a couple of bass (land one, one gets off right under the boat) and head over toward the channel. Buddy hooks up to a nice halibut, rolls the kayak dumps all of his gear (my gear, he was using), gets back on the kayak, recovers the rod/reel that didnt have the fish, recovers the gaf. One of my lines ends up tangling on his rod that had the fish on it so i give him that rod so he can recover the other. He reels in a Daiwa sealine, a 7' pacificstick rod, and a decent halibut using the snagged line on my small spinning set up. He lands the fish with this tangled mess, and saves my rod/reel combo. Halibut ends up being 26" and quite meaty. We fished for a little while longer, headed back in. I landed a 13" Sculpin a couple hundred yards off the beach and we called it a day. Great day, great story. I'll rebuild the reels and we will laugh about this for a long time to come. Last edited by SoCalEDC; 05-06-2019 at 01:14 PM. |
