Any intel on Dana Point or La Jolla Calico Action? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Same experience as Viking, Calicos seem to be a bit scarce. In the surf zone last weekend - raked baits (probably short halibut), big Smelt on the Luckycraft. Some Calicos are mixed in around the Doheney reefs and extending out along the pipe. I haven't hit the north kelp lately, but may check it out this weekend along with halibut drifting on the way back. Bait schools were findable in deeper water last week. I'll be out again Sat or Sun in the late morning through the afternoon.

As of Thursday off DP I ran across some good mixed bass up suspended in 60-80ft. lots of bait of all types including lots o crab. I went through a handful of plastics in a short time when I zeroed in. When I found puddling small bait I would get bit on the sink and only on the sink.

1 15in hali on a 10in mack no trap. Pretty slow but the hour or so of suspended bass was fun.
