What are these balls for...Yellowtail?

The tail on the first YT is epic!! Very cool report, have you tried launching near Seaside at Table-Tops? It's ankle slappers and a perfect channel to the kelp. Only downside is 8$ parking (i think it may be more now but I always snag my buddies pass) to park at Seaside Reef.

It looks like that area at seaside is in a MLPA?? Very fishy area. My dad and his buddies used to launch a 14' alum boat right there 50 years ago when we would spend the day ay the beach and kill it! All kinds of fish killed and eaten. That parking lot used to be a trailer park back in the day. Really great area.

I remember the trailer park from when I was a kid!! But the MLPA ends right at table tops reef. So all the kelp south from there is fair game! Boat pressure always seems to be minimal because it's a 16 mile mob from O'side and MB ...

I have never launched at Tabletops. Not that it seems like a bad place but I believe the parking there at the state beach is $15. I have not been surf-fishing enough to warrant the annual pass either. Also, the state beaches open at 6AM. I like to be on the water by then.
