BIG BAIT = BIG FISH

It's that time of year again, when the challenges of fishing are outweighed by the volume of life in the area. I didn't get a chance to do battle with the whole Southern California fleet this weekend, but went out Sunday afternoon. The still intact partial fleet (three sporties and ten boats)was doing it's best job of driving over the schools of Yellowtail (over and over and over again) and trying to ruin the action for everyone, but was again unsuccessful. I only made four pieces of bait (big-greenbacks) and each one found it's way into a Yellowtails' mouth. A fun afternoon of action when the boats all headed for the barn with more fish than I knew what to do with. I came back in the dark and didn't have a photo opportunity, but maybe I can improve someone's day with this report (get out there).
I had to fish for each bait real hard between bites, but each bait found their target within minutes after being pinned on back to back (I was keeping my rod in hand and never even putting it in the rod holder,fun)

I think there may be enough for this summer.

It's hard to get a photo when no one's around.


Sorry about the goofy grin, but this fishing thing is pretty fun. I guess if the photographer's intention was to make the kayak look good and the angler look like a dork he succeeded.


I went out late this afternoon again after I finished all my chores around the house and went to play. A pretty quiet afternoon when all the boats headed for the barn. Conditions were similar to yesterday with a little more bait around if you looked.



Life sucks, if you're long, green with black bars, and swim too fast for your own good . If I'm forced to be
bait in my next life I want to be a Spanish Mackeral, and die of old age.

Hey BAL

You know I just point and shoot because I'm
blind and it was dark. So call it as you see
it.lol
Next time keep your bait away from under my
yak and maybe I can catch one .

Thanks for the tail. I'm glad I know someone
who can help feed the house.

BAMF
