Congratulations on your first Kayak Yellowtail. You'll never forget your first yellowtail, the fast runs, the clicker and the drag screaming, the rod bendo and the unbelievable hard pull. Then after a while the beautiful sight at color and the beautiful colors when bringing it on deck. The only thing that comes close to that great feeling is when you eat it. Just wait till you fight one twice that size, your arms will feel like noodles after the fight.

I’ve caught some large Yellowtail off my old neighbors power boat. I just couldn’t imagine it off a kayak. It was truly amazing. I just started kayak fishing a few months ago. I cant believe how much I love it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I could be wrong, but charts show the southeastern terminus of LJ canyon extending past the line running due north from Pt La Jolla that demarcates the western boundary of the no fish zones, and puts some deep water off limits; but OP says he paddled across the canyon and onwards to safe territory, so he's good

OP, were you holding the rod when the fish hit the swimbait? Very thrilling if so.

Yep well past the reserve. The water gets over 300’ deep on the paddle out then goes to about 60’ then starts getting deeper again. I was at 120’ once the I passed the first deep section. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
