LBC 9/6 - I hate it when this happens! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

On Saturday 9/6, I set out of Alamitos Bay for Chafee Island and the Wall in search of Halibut. On the way across the channel I scored a few Mackerel for bait. I also brought some Gulp Jerkshad to try some deeper drop-shotting.

The executive summary of events is:

1. I'm tired of Halibut fishing because I just can't seem to get a legal one.
2. Yesterday, I caught zero Halibut.
3. Drifted various live Mackerel on the bottom for miles.
4. Drop-shotted the bottom for a few giant Lizard fish and something that pulled then left me with 1/2 of a lure. (photo below)
5. By mid-day the wind and chop was bad so headed back in to the Bay where I caught a dink Sculpin and a dink Turbot (photo below).
6. Called it a day after the sail boat training school made the place dangerous for anything on the water.
7. Taking a break today (Sunday)!

I hate it when this happens:

The wall near the Bait Barge:

Enjoy!
