South Kelp--today - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

'Cuda · 12-26-2006, 01:06 PM

Reporting from the Maria Celeste Hotel-San Quintin.
Swell 3-4 not a factor. Perfect conditions....0 winds all morning...77 degrees. Made easy bait 3 at a time. Paddled straight out about 1 1/2 miles to 90 ft. Got picked up on the way out...fely like the lazy tug of a WSB....hit it twice but wouldn't eat it. The bite came on at 9am and I hooked 3 yellowtail on dead macks only to have all three stolen by a damned sea lion....the f*^#er wouldn't leave me alone....he wouldn't take the macks but wait till I hooked up and then surface throwing the fish and ripping it apart....I didn't think they could eat so much.
If it wasn't for bad luck...........
