LJ 5/29 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Got on the water after taking my kids to school. Headed out side and south of the condo. Not many boats or yaks out and little sign of birds. Anoying dogs kept following me so it was tough/impossible to fish a bait. Water was purple clear. Around 1:00 saw 2 big spots of breezing YT just sort of milling around under the surface. Made 2 good cast with the iron and had maybe 50 yellows follow the jig back to the boat with no hits or bumps. Not productive but super cool to see. The fish looked a bit smaller than the YT that have been in LJ lately so maybe a new group of fish have moved in. Ended up messing with some small cuda at the kelp line and came on it. Loads of boats and choppers looking for the lost diver. Saw a pod of Risso's dolphins that dove about the time I dug my camera out. Only seen them a few times befor. Seen YT my last 5 trips to LJ, getting closer I suppose. Mike
