4th of July Firecracker YTs

[blackcloud9]

Tuesday fished 5:30 am to 2 pm in a sea of kayaks and great weather.

Long slow morning on the water for me and a buddy. He caught three spanish macks in one drop, that was all the bait we got for the day.

We managed to get one yellowtail each in a double hookup, so no action photos here.

We fished out deeper in 130' down south, and ran across a school of puddling yellows later. They chased the surface iron to the boat twice and managed to only nip at it. We also saw a pod of whales out there (pilot whales I think) at a distance.

I had something eat the tiny black swivel used as a connector from my 30 lb spectra to my topshot. Apparently the teeth went right through the heavy spectra with only 2 clicks off the clicker. :shock: That swivel was only the size of a big ant - I can barely cut that stuff with pliers or scissors!! Baby mako or cuda?

Anyway I was "BLESSED WITH THE OPPORTUNITY" to completely re-rig that topshot. :roll:


The smaller Calicos were WFO on the way in on plastics, smaller models, up to about 2 lbs..
