Still no Yellowtail

Went out again today to try for my first Calif yellowtail on my kayak. No such luck. Bait was harder to come by, mostly Spanish macs and what I did catch were taken by seals. I did manage to get another PB on this trip, so it wasn't a bad day. I even landed without flipping.
This baby was caught on a Spanish Mac in 100' on a halibut rig with a three-way swivel & 5 oz sinker

Dan, it was nice to meet you at the launch and thanks again for watching my gear while I went to get my truck.

42" at 28 pounds

Svendawg, sorry you didn't get your yellowtail, but that is a great consolation!

Way to go Sven. Your by catch is very impressive. Try for some rock fish and you might get your yellow.

Congrats, Sven, that's the only big fish I saw on LJ kayakers today.

Seals stole my bait 5 times. Yellowtail has a day off today.

WTG on the 'but. We'd call that an upgrade over the yellowtail you've yet to catch. Many of those will come, but 28lb flatties are rare.

You sure make it hard to feel bad when you don't catch a yellowtail. Congrats on another very nice fish.

When down south next month try targeting a dorado, maybe that will get you the yellow bite.
