San Diego Bay
 

I have been waiting for last night to come for a while. It was suppose to be the hot bite so I thought. Ended up being completely dead out there. Fished from about 9:30is pm to 9am this morning. I met up with a guy from OK. He is out here on vacation and has never kayak fished before. We were able to break him in pretty early with a spottie, then it was a waiting game from there. He caght a few sandbass over the next few hours, but that was it. I had a lot of bites, but they were just mouthing it last night. It was a real bizarre bite for me. I dunno if the eclipse had anything to with it or night. The conditions were picture perfect for the way I fish last night, just couldn't seem to spark their attention. Brad took off abut 3:45am and I went on and fished a little longer.

I went back to a spot that I knew would produce and man I was right. I caught about 15-20 spotties between 4:30-7:30am. I managed to entertain a few halibut. I caught one and had two come off, one of which was bigger than the one I kept. I had another fish about 5:30am slam my bait. It literally pulled one of my hands off of my rod. I reached up and got a nice grip on it and loaded up on the fish. I got about 5 good cranks on it and with a head shake it was gone. I think it was a big halibut, but who knows. There were a few halibut coming all the way up out of the water while they were feeding. It's pretty to cool to see flying halibut! Well here are a couple pix, not much, but we had fun.

The halibut 27" and EddieG weighed it right at 7lbs.

My secret bait on the water, sometimes the Dr. knows best!

I'm starting to get the hang of standing up in the Revo. Little harder to do in LJ though.
