LJ 7/4 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Smaller bait is better when thats what the fishing are feeding on. Thats an unarguable fact. And right now, the fish are feeding on smaller baits.

Hey BBrown, Was that you that gave me the battery?
I had the same results as you. Trolled some live macs around for about two hours then headed into the kelp for some calicos. I finished the day with 6 calicos and 8 rockfish. I was surprised at how few kayakers were out. The grassy area behind the Lifeguard station was a tent city at 4:45 am. But parking was no problem.

most summers have a time when the school yellowtail(the 8-15 pounders) will only eat sardines. I was out on a 1/2 day family reunion trip last week and the masters of surface iron threw iron through the yt many times with only a follow here and there. The patient sardine anglers could pick through the barracuda and got a few yt. I have had pbers in mid summer just spankin em right by me slow trolling sardines and nothing with would hit my mackerel.

unarguable? I know a bunch of larger YT that would beg to differ (or beg not to have eaten the big greenies that were their undoing).
