DP 7/27

[alanw]

Launched late at 1:00 off at 8:00

Water has cooled down from a few weeks ago to around 64°, nice and overcast all day.

Fished bait barge anchovies all day. One short hali and a short cuda within the first 15 mins on the water.

Finally got my bait tank dialed in, only lost 3 or 4 chovies all day.

I got skunked outside the harbor so headed back in after 2 hours. Lots of short strikes/raked baits.

I was suprised to get no bass at all, inside or outside the harbor.. maybe too cold?

Ended up with 3 short halibut, 1 short baracuda, 1 queenfish, and 1 legal halibut at 24"... my first legal on a kayak :)


Cooking up some halibut right now :drool5:

Congrats on the keeper halibut

Great job on getting your first legal yak butt. Big drops in water temp will definitely shut down a bass bite. Especially considering DP has been slow for bass most of the year (at least for me).

awesome job. There where so many kayakers out on the water which one where you.

I was wearing a straw hat drifting around on a dark green Malibu Stealth 12. Not too much wind and current made for a nice slow drift all day.

Way to go on your 1st hali- hoping you have many more to come. Thanks for report.
