DP 5/18
Weather didn't start out to great, it was rather windy throughout the morning, but it finally cleared up to become a very nice day. Starting trolling a mac to look for some WSB... no luck. Switched it up looking for some bass and got a PB 4lb 7oz calico on a bighammer. Caught a few more bass then the bite slowed on the plastics, so I went to flylining sardines. The first sardine is in the water... About 20 seconds later something hammers it and starts to run. As I get it closer to the kayak I cant believe it, but its a small yellowtail. First ever yellow from the kayak, not to mention it won me the tourny. Just shy of 25 inches, it was small, but I was very happy. The bass were really hitting live bait today in the afternoon. Video to come. |

Nice catch! Do you keep your fish overboard on the stringer? I was kinda worried about doing that cuz of sharks or sea lions.
Will wait for your video, congrats on the win

Nice catch. It's rare to get a YT outta Dana. Much less in The middle of May. Congrats.

Nice catch, Charlie. I could feel your adrenalin rush 75yds away and when you said it was a YT I thought you were suffering from sun stroke! Beautiful fish and a well deserved win for the pot. I got more than my $10 worth just watching your reaction. May this be the first of many you bag this summer.

A YT at Dana?
During a tourney? Won the jackpot? Heck yeah! I bet that felt good. Hey everybody, lets fish Dana this weekend. The WFO bite is ON!

I couldn't believe it was a yellow in the middle of May either...... right place right time I guess.
As promised (albeit a bit late) here is the video. I'm still working on my editing skills so bear with me on this one. Not sure whats up with the slight "fog" I think some water condensed on the inside of the lens area. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BR7DeBmD4_w Quote:

tough one to cut loose
since it's the tourney winner , much less your first off yak .
 . caught some on a 3/4 boat out of diego , similar size . broke my heart after seeing the size of fillets . considering my credit card bill for boarding fee , let alone my fuel bill to make commute . congrats on taking the contest .
