Something I noticed.. - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I know it's been eluded to before but never before have I really given much thought about it until now. Lately, I've been having big problems with the agressive bull sealions in LJ. I would say just one, but I've seen two large bulls with the tan/white backs on them. I use 50-65 lb white power pro on all my bait rods and I think it was Brad who theorized that they were following the line from the surface right to their meal. Well, after weeks of stolen bait on the kayak, I got hit on a PB in LJ. I was fishing the YT shootout last weekend and after a slow morning at SCI and a few dry paddies on the way in, we hit LJ as a last ditch. I was the only one using spectra and it was my bait that was constantly get nabbed. Even when other baits were closer, knothead still prefered mine. As a result I'm switching back to mono mainline. I'd rather lose a fish to the kelp than not catch a fish at all..
