07/19 - LJK

[Afran]

Ron and I fished North LJK from 7A-3P. It was amazing weather of course, but we had zero current all day and little to no wind to help us move through the matt. Water seemed a little murked, maybe 12 ft vis and kinda chill but not cold. Bite was a little slow but we did have a full wildlife adventure.

Ron pulled a 7lbs calico early in the am (on the spring scale and she was long). He also had a 150lbs BSB track his jig back to the boat and then boil at the bow. I saw the thing surface, fins and tail, it was huge to say the least. A battle that would not have been won. We found a puddling 18lb yellowtail in an open area between stringers. We threw some baits at it. It did show interested, but we weren't tricky enough. Lots of rockfish, crabs, cailcos and a 23.75 ling cod, he was close....











Super fun day with a good friend. All fish caught on the War Jig with eevolve plastics as trailers and a cocktail of Hot Sauce and UniButter. Most Calicos were in 58-60ft of water with the other creatures in 70ft.
