Keep your ears open! From what I've experienced sea lions always make that "Phhhffft!" gasping for air sound 75-50yds behind the kayak before they attempt to steal your bait. Don't let out more than 40yds unless you got a big mac/small bonito and you'll be able to reel in 2-3 baits before the seal is in range. I've never had my baits stolen and am typically visited by 10-20 sea lions on an average day. Plus if the sea lions doesn't get fed it won't come back that day! Good luck out there!

I had 3 strait trips with at least 1 yellow per trip. Then 3 shut outs in a row. Don't take it personally. Keep hitting it and you'll get some. Mike

Don't worry brother, I am where your at now, 0 and 8 at LJ, 0 for 1 on charter, and 0 for 1 on a private vessel. Needless to say, I have told myself same thing, but my boys who have slayed them keep telling me be patient your time will come. I bought a Hobie PA 14 and thought I would have been bringing them in and taking them home to my girls..but NOOOOO. It's all good.

A Bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work!

Im going out to LJ tomorrow..let me know if your down to go.

Your not the only one, like others have said. I had a good streak getting yellows almost every trip this summer, then I hit a slump and went 8 times with no fish (except the bonito/cuda action). Got one nice yellow and back to another 7 consecutive trips with no YT action. That's why they call it fishing.
