DP 03-16/17
Conditions: Wind started off from the SW, calmed, then from the NW, calmed, then from the SW toards evening. Rather gentle, light wind chop, barely any swell. Cool, but nice once the sun broke through the overcast. Water: Dirty green or even brown along some areas of the beach, don't know the temp. Fishing: On the water at around 9am. Decided to go light, got some chovies at the receivers, nice sized and healthy. Headed down the beach to find something hungry. Saturday I got some small halibut and a couple of formerly legal sand bass close to the harbor, no time to run farther. Sunday I went down the beach and got a smorgasboard. One bat ray, several small halibut, three small sand bass, two formerly legal Calicos, several Leopards and one short WSB. Bite turned off about 2:30, but as stubborn as I am I was out until 7pm. All in all not a bad couple of days, on light tackle even shorts are fun. And the Leos are awesome on a Stradic 1000 and ultra light rod. All were released, not necessarily on purpose though...

Any tips would be welcome! |

There was no fog when I was out, it was overcast though until about noon. Don't know how I would know if the grunion were there or not.

Hmm, so how do you release a shark when you catch it from a kayak? Always wondered that in case it ever happens..

Without those, I'd recommend a nice sharp knife to cut the line. I've witnessed some guys get their hand "shredded" attempting to retrieve just a hook! FFY |

you dont need kevlar gloves for leos... just grab it by the back of its head palming it near its eyes, lay it back (can calm them down) and put some pliers in its mouth, if the hook is in real good, clip the line off the hook and let it swim with a peircing until it rusts out.
