Beautiful day on the bay Sunday. Launched early from shelter island and got caught up in a 45 minute wait for bait as everybody headed off shore for the late season YTF frenzy. But, we were going after 'butts so bait was kinda required. Ended up with a really nice mix of mega-dines, mini-dines and chovie.

Met about 6 other kayakers fishing the point loma side, but didn't get any names. Nice, cordial crowd.

The fish were biting like crazy... Tons and tons of raked baits made me re-rig for a stinger hook. nose hooking and butt hooking the larger dines cut down some on the bites from what must be the ping pong paddles.

Ended up with 4 shorts, 1 keeper, and a really nice hookup with something very heavy that bit through the leader (I'm gonna say big 'butt). Also got a a dozen or so really chunky spotties... Couldn't get them on the swim bait but they were all over the dines and chovies. My partner got 3 shorts and a nice promar connical lobster hoop that he snagged his stinger hook on.
