LJ 9-7 PM
Launched around 4:00 PM.
No surf. Swell mixed with ten knot winds made for sloppy paddling. Made perfecto greenies inside in front of the flag. Proceeded to paddle to edge of the kelps. Then the boilermakers showed up. I had a greenie on one side and jointed greenie swim bait (which I purchased at the suggestion of AC when I ran into him at Squidco) on the other. The Dolphin was closing in on the school when both of my rods go zzzzzzzzzzzziiiiiiinnnngggooo. I grab swim bait rod and work it hard. Gaff the YT right in front of the Dolphin and give out an overly zealous (dry streak ending) wahoo!! 8) I secure number one. I can still feel rod number two twitching. Lucky for me Number two was heading straight for Catalina ( with most of my line)! I put the wood to him and he comes up tired and succumbs to the gaff. Again right behind the Dolphin. :twisted: Not huge fish, however a fun and beautiful afternoon on the water. LJ sunset Ken |
