had to make it short. can you give me more details please. did you see any fin bait ? how far did you paddle? when i went i just paddled to right kelp beds . i saw some large calicos. that was along time ago , close to 2 years ago, when i first got my yak. flipped it in surf right there. right now water is probably to cold for calicos. did you try and drag for halibut ? or troll for thresher? glad to see you came home with dinner. pm me , if you want to keep my secret spot on the hush , hush . tight lines.
