Looked for ya Matt, no vhf. Launch was ankle slapping good times. Bait all over the place. Spent most of the day outside looking for yellow. Saw one fish come up about 20 feet off my left side chomping on the heels of a mack across the surface. Got an iron on it immediately but gone.

Later on I saw a silvery fish about 2ft long launching itself out of the water repeatedly. Couldn't figure it out. I've never seen a yellowtail jump like that, it was like how carp flop themselves out of the water. Not sure what else it could've been.

Fog rolled in quick around 10am, bringing a strong change in wind direction and swell direction. Without gps or a compass you could've got into trouble.

Mola's. They were jumping out of the water this morning. One came within 20ft of the yak. I tried to take a pic, but the shutter delay on the camera sucks.

That was my first thought, I must've just had a weird angle on it. The fish sure didn't look mola shaped from where I saw it. It jumped 4 or 5 times and I was within 30 yards of it, could've sworn it was more "regular fish" shaped.

I saw the same thing and was thinking cuda? Or jr. Seabass? Don't know for sure but it had me casting irons hoping to find out!

Sorry I missed you out there Brian!
