Iceman · 01-31-2007, 05:03 PM

Dropped my daughter off at school at 9AM, weatherman was saying 10-15 kts and a chance of T storms, but I gambled and was glad. Never more than 5 kts. Fished between Big Rock and Bird Rock in 80-95 feet. Could not find any bait, very quiet on top. Yoyoed iron and yoyoed plastic. One monster barracuda and a few lings. tried in the kelp and on the inside edge of the kelp for calicos por nada. Fun mid-day fishin' alot of whales passed outside and I saw one trying to take a shortcut through the kelp in 50 feet of water.

surfin' the rock

kelp is thick between 40-60 and deep even around 90 feet

after dropping through a bait ball, I was halfway up and got tagged on the big 7X.

Bigleadhead/yoyo style

sportie was out another 1/2 mile

Had to follow in a wave and scramble up the beach quick with the close interval surf, they'd come in doubles and triples.
