Still no Yellowtail

[svendawg]

Went out again today to try for my first Calif yellowtail on my kayak. No such luck. Bait was harder to come by, mostly Spanish macs and what I did catch were taken by seals. I did manage to get another PB on this trip, so it wasn't a bad day. I even landed without flipping.
This baby was caught on a Spanish Mac in 100' on a halibut rig with a three-way swivel & 5 oz sinker

Dan, it was nice to meet you at the launch and thanks again for watching my gear while I went to get my truck.

42" at 28 pounds

Sven.....you really need to get a real on the water shot....not a sitting in my kayak on the sand shot!


Congrats helluva fish!!

Svendawg, sorry you didn't get your yellowtail, but that is a great consolation!:cheers1:

[FISH11]

WTG his sand shots are the best next time get a sandcastle in there

[Cadillyak]

Ill take that any day of the week. Thanks for the report!!

[Bert Vega]

Sven you are the man! Killing it!!

[rossman]

Way to go Sven. Your by catch is very impressive. Try for some rock fish and you might get your yellow.

Congrats, Sven, that's the only big fish I saw on LJ kayakers today.

Seals stole my bait 5 times. Yellowtail has a day off today.

Thanks for the report Sven.
Nice fish!
We're you kayaking home when that picture was taken? :)

[Aaron&Julie]

WTG on the 'but. We'd call that an upgrade over the yellowtail you've yet to catch. Many of those will come, but 28lb flatties are rare.

NICE!!! :cheers1:

[Deamon]

Sven-man...that butt is making you look like a normal sized person...lol. :luxhello:

[GregAndrew]

No YT, Butt that will do!!!

[Lipripper92592]

Nice haul!

[DanaPT]

nice by-catch.

[walrus]

You sure make it hard to feel bad when you don't catch a yellowtail. Congrats on another very nice fish.

When down south next month try targeting a dorado, maybe that will get you the yellow bite.

Looks like Godzilla's distant cousin. Is that a PB for you? Awesome report!
