5:30 launch over to the pier....bait was scarce but manged to get a "full menu" (dines, greenie,spanish) 6 pieces total for 40min work and trolled North for nada until about 9:00am. Back toward the kelp and picked up a few more p-star macs on the way. Not one bite today. Looked kind of dead and slow all morning. Sun never came out. Wrapped up the skunk at noon. Not the report that most want to hear but a report none the less. Still looking for my first YT after about 8 trips to LJ now. Feel like I am doing all the right things but might have to break down and hire a guide.
