DP 06-04 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

My son and I fished Dana Point this morning from 7am - 1 pm. Overcast pretty much all day. No wind and water conditions super calm. Water stayed around 64 degrees. 64.5 by the time we got off around 1 pm.

Tried for halibut today. Barge only had sardines and they were huge --like 8-9 inches. Trolled from Doheny to Capistrano Beach and back. No GWS spotted, and no halibut caught. I had a bunch of baits raked, but my son hooked into two leopard sharks. Neither of us have ever hooked into anything that big yet so he was really stoked (and I for him). Both eventually broke off as we were fishing 20# leaders.

The stoke is real.
