Congratulations Mark,
Good to see your efforts pay off! ![]() ![]() What about slow trolling live baits on the Solo? Any luck doing that? or is it too much of a PITA to kick the engine in and out of gear to keep from going too fast ? |

Thanks, YTHunter. Tight Lines!
It's a 2020 Tohatsu 6HP, 15" shaft, 4 stroke. Same engine is also sold as a Mercury 6HP, for a little more $.

Hey Sully, yes early on the water surface was getting rougher and rougher. It calmed down a little later and when I was leaving earlier it was mostly calm. Left earlier than planned since I had a nice LJ Yellowtail to put under more ice. Taste sooooooo gooooooooddd.

Nice talking with you at the launch. We were the only ones out on the water that morning. Thanks again for the battery jump start.

It was nice metting you Gary. Like I mentioned at the launch, I only wish I had found out about and started Kayak Ocean fishing as early as you did. Like you mentioned, almost every trip was a nice LJ Yellowtail and many trips with 3 or 4 on board. GOOD OLD DAYS! Tight Lines

Yes there are days that are lower then others, but when I started out on Kayaks in 2013 I said to myself to make it about enjoying the beautiful scenery of La Jolla and the fishing is just the icing on the cake. It' my favorite place to recharge and improve my attitude, melt away the worlds BS! Tight Lines!

Thanks, Pinhead. I'm always looking for a furbag or the taxman, when fighting the fish and especially while bleeding and cleaning the large Yellowtail. Tight Lines!

Nice work Mark. I was just telling my buddy we should get back out there as I haven't been in a while. Only went like twice last year and I used to be out there every other week before that.

Hi Shane, it's been a while. Many regulars don't get out as often, anymore. I got the Solo Skiff so I can cover more water and faster and then the Yellowtail became harder to find. When the weather cooperates it's so beautiful there in LJ. Go out when you can. Tight Lines!
