I fished DP on Thursday, and took sort of an oposite track from yours. Beelined to Salt creek and was there at about 5:30. Bait was plentiful and perfect, but did not seem to be relating to the surface or kelp. I was in 60 to 80 ft of water and my sonar would suddenly cloud up and I'd make a quick drop with my sabiki and imediately have a load of 5 or 6 greenies of 4 to 6 inches. Picked up 4 chunky sandies out there, 3 on the bait and 1 on the gulp. Had a wicked halibut bite that totally shredded my bait but couldn't get the hook into him. Made my way back to the point and picked up a couple nice chunky sculpin. One on the bait and one on the gulp. Like yesterday, it was gorgious out there. Glassed off at 8:30. Couldn't bring myself to quit. Stayed out till 3:00.

Beautiful day. All fish released except for a nice stash of lobster bait.
