So after yesterday I had to go today. Took two friends who have never taken kayaks out in ocean. Surf launch sucked. But they managed made bait then headed out to yellowtail waters. Within 15 min I was on. My buddy got one while I was fighting mine and my third buddy hooked up minutes later. Couldn't believe. 3 yakers 3 fish before 8am. We trolled a bit more then went back for more bait. We hit grounds again and within 10 min I was on again. Unfortunately I was on my friends yak (not made for open ocean or anything close) and couldn't get the nose of yak turned towards fish. Then the bs happened. I was pulled over. A couple miles off shore sharks all over la jolla and I'm swimming with my rod in hand and the fish still on. Crazy. I flipped yak back over scrambled in it. Crazy. Buddy came over took pole so I could bail out the sit in yak I was on. I bailed water then caught my fish. While we were sitting my buddies line was still in waste somewhere getting all tangled in everything then of course his reel starts screaming. I knew exactly what it was another yellowtail. After that my yak was to unstable to fish out of so we called it a day. On way in we saw a pod of dolphin coming our way. I looked down and saw a few big streaks hauling ass. They were not yellowtail unless there is schools of 50lb plus yellowtail running inside the preserve. It was a school of yellowfin I believe but could of been blues. All in all 5 fish 3 guys 1.5 hours of trolling back on shore cleaning fish by 11am. Yet another amazing day. We left them biting again and I was happy to do it today.
