Congrats! Nice Yellow. It's been so slow at LJ for quite a while now. I've hardly seen any landed by boat or kayak while I was fishing there in what seems a couple months. The water keeps getting warmer (77.4 on Friday) there is more kelp but bait can be hard to find and the Yellows are elsewhere. I catch and release rock fish and white fish all the time that get on my sabiki while trying to find bait. I guess if I needed Taco meat, than I would focus on the rock fish. Years ago after catching my first Yelow on the kayak, I got hooked and that is almost all I target. Too much fun getting towed around and hearing that Avet drag scream.

I didn't see a lot of folks hooking up, but I did see another Kayaker, "Dave" catch a slightly smaller YT just west of the NW Corner...

Nice Yellowtail

, my personal best was on a jig and squid sitting on the bottom. Good job playing out that "shark"....always a good thing to see them before breaking them off. I don't live on the left coast anymore, but sometimes live vicariously through the reports -- Thanks.
