Bait came easy. I was so excited to hook on a HUGE mack then I let him back to do his thing about 3 minutes later as I was trolling along... ZING and the fight was on for about 6 intense seconds. then nothing and the Dog surfaced and laughed at me. ha ha I lost 5 or 6 that way. Got mad and decided to Fish on the bottom. Limited on Staries and two Copper Rockfish (thought they were staries too) using chunks of Mackerel.
Gabriel and I wanted to thank you guys for helping him out with his yak going down. I feel bad for taking off to hunt for the big game first while you guys were still making bait. He is newer to yak fishing than the rest of us and probably would not of knew what to do when he looked at his hull full of water. That was the first time I ran into a situation like that and now know why you should kayak with others and double and triple check your yak. We later found out where the yak was taking on water. One of the caps on the bottom of his rod holders slipped off. It was a pleasure fishing with you guys and we should meet up again. Maybe Cabrillo next week ill keep you guys posted.
