Pot of Yellow at the end of the Rainbow | 5-7-16

[summers in kuwait]

Headed out last Saturday morning. Figured I'd try and get a nice mother's day gift for the Mrs. and Mother-in-law. Got to the launch and no fence up, a nice treat to roll onto the sand. The water was mellow with some light rain upon launching as a few guys pulled up. Cruised around and found bait a little deeper than usual. Dropped my homemade sabiki (http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwevb/showthread.php?t=28660)and got a nice mix bag of jack & greenies in a short time. After loading up on bait, made rounds by fly line.

A few run-ins with some dogs and some decent rain made things interesting, but shortly after this appeared.

I put on a lively mac and headed south and after pausing for a moment the reel starts screaming. Turned into a nice yellow that wanted to play in the kelp.

Fish went 41" x 26.5 lbs bled and gutted.

Plenty of sashimi for the evening and another great day on the water!

Nice fish, great day to be out!

[iethinker]

Thanks for the report and good job!

[FISH11]

Congrats. They're still out there for those that don't give up. Just not in large numbers, they are certainly outnumbered by the Fu**n sea lions and on some days by the Threshers.

Nice Todd! I'm getting some new gear and I am almost into some free time. I'll hit you up to get some lines wet in a couple weeks.

"Yellowtail in the salad" sounds like the name for a new recipe!
