The soon to be brother in law came to town from New York and wanted to try kayak fishishing. So i took him out to Dana Point and Let him use my PA 12 while i rented a Stealth 14. I should have let him use the Stealth and kept my PA oh well lesson learned.

Anyway the fishing was the best I've had in a while. Nothing big but at least it was very steady pick of Kelp, Calico Bass with a couple of sheephead, leapord shorks and scuplin thrown in. i origianlly wanted to start out fishing for Halibut but that prove to be a challenge. He kept getting hung up in the kelp with either his line or the Mirage drive. So I anchored him to the kelp in an area i usually get some sheepshead. Fishing with shrimp on the bootom. over all he had a blast and we didn't get skunked so a great day was had. It was chilly in the morning untill the sun came out and warmed up quickly.
