Vikingj · 02-21-2016, 09:42 PM

33 1/2 lb YT taken Saturday on mac bait,

and two weeks earlier...36", 19 lb Hali.

Almost makes up for the past 4 months of skunk!

Nice!! That picture does not do the fish justice...

Congrats, good to hear that there's still some action out there if one persists. Enjoy the great bounty.

Did you take the YT deep/dropper loop? Or flylining?

W -

I believe that's your forth YT this year at DP, something I don't think has been accomplished by any past kayaker.

I guess that makes you the MAN, at least for a while!

Nice post and great fish.
Way to stick with it and put in your time!

Congrats! Nice fish. Wish there was vid of the take. That first significant run by an unexpected fish --nobody catches YT outside of LJ. My PB CA YT is from DP and my first yak YT from Laguna. OC represent.

Flyline or 3-way - how deep of water?

Great catch...

GregAndrew · 02-22-2016, 05:02 PM

Sweet! I am surprised we did not see the numbers of YT this winter that we saw last year on the rockfish spots up north of SD?
