This is how the addiction begins.

X2. I hate losing the big ones before I can see what they are.

If the waves at CDM are too big, you can always launch from the baby beach in the harbor. It's not too far from the harbor mouth and you can harass spotties or catch macs for bait at the bait barge (if it's still there) on your way out.

I've launched form multiple public boat docks in the harbor including the one at baby beach on the end of the peninsula. Also the coast guard station. This time I wanted to try the surf launch since the waves were so small. It was worth the experience in case I ever make it out to La Jolla. It also saved me 15 minute or so each way of paddling but cost me $9 for parking.
I usually fish from shore off the end of the CDM jetty. I know exactly where the Macs are if I need them for bait. The two Macs I got were trolled on the way in hoping for a thrasher.

JK, it's a whitefish. One rule I go by is I release everything I can't identify or don't know the limits on. Easy rule to stay out of trouble

Hi what is CDM?
Are you just dropping down chunks of mackerel?
What lb test do you use out there?

Thanks
