South San Diego Bay 10/28/17

[BigLouSD]

I'm still dialing my Hobie Compass in, but I'm loving it so far, I'm having a lot of fun. I love the hull on this kayak and while the seat is quieter and wider than the Vantage CT, the lumbar support is seriously lacking. Since I don't have any heavy fishing poles or tackle I've stuck to the south end of the bay primarily picking off grumpy spotties.

Today was a personal best as I stopped counting after 20, most were babies but I would guess 5 or 6 legals. I had one baby halibut flash from under my yak but s/he made a u turn once it got close to the lure. I had a great time, took mostly video but I have a couple of screen shots. I was using Warbaits Underspin and Warblade jigs to great success otherwise.

I also met a local Youtube legend Dino better known as "Jig Jig Pow" who looks like he may have caught the yak fishing bug as well. I'm looking forward to venturing out into the main San Diego Bay channel to hook up on some sandies, calicos and halibuts here pretty soon. I will keep updating as I go as it seems the fishing reports have been lacking recently.
