WTF! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Arrived at La Jolla Shores around 5:30 to super thick fog. We waited for a while to clear and as it got light we launched into it anyway. Slow day for me and my fishing partner making bait. 2 squirts were all i could muster. No luck on them so I start making Greenbacks. This is where it gets weird. I am fishing a sabiki with the rod I usually use for bassin in the bay. I get ripped hard and fight something decent for a few minutes. Finally i get it to color and I think what the hell is that? Juvi white seabass? No. Rat Yellow? No. As I play it closer the fish comes up and makes a little jump. Holy cow it is about a two foot long Salmon! I start thinking should I gaff it? Is it legal to posses one here? WTF! One more little jump and my sabiki rig pulls out and off it goes back into the deep. Crazy!

Rest of day not nearly as exciting. Had one hit on a greenback with no dice and had a seal pick off two of my baits. One guy fishing next to us caught a hefty BSB.

Oh well, better luck next time.
