I understand Freediver's sentiment. You guys have to know that there are lots of freedivers that lurk on this website to see what you kayak fishermen are saying. I know freedivers as far as LA and the SF Bay Area are using this website to keep tabs on LJ and when the WSB start showing on your reports. Which is why I PM'd Larry with my questions, but guess he didn't see it.

So freediver, did you go out on a boat or from shore? How deep were you when you saw the fish? PM me if you'd like. :D

I am Farly new to this board.......when I fished in Monterey and Big Sur it was for shallow water rock fish. It was a lot colder up north! we (norcal board) fished for Lings, vermilion,cabozon etc. White sea bass you would hear of but few and between. Halibut Fishing turned out really good! oh well what I am saying as well the vermilion (reds) are quite tasty......you are hearing from a top level chef! can't wait to get out there and get Yellow tail and white sea bass those are high on my to do list:D

how bye the way I did grow up in this area;)

I was on my kayak, a blue P13. I actually planned on diving the kelp around the point, but moved along further south. I was in about 50 -60 feet of water. I tied up to some kelp that was standing straight up. Lots of jumbo macks in the area. I saw a total of three fish, first one was a big. Really big. I was already in the water pulling the kayak to a better mat of kelp and was looking down and saw it.No chance for a shot. It was about 10 ft down with a male. I tied up again and on the first dive I saw a female at about 20 ft(depth) to the left. Missed the shot. Went back up, loaded again. Dove two more times and saw her again about 15 yards where I missed her, I'm certain it was the same fish. Couldn't get lined up and she spooked.

Sweet. Thanks for the report Free Diver.
