Dana Pt./Doheny sunday, sunday, sunday... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I had a ~20lb hali on the line Saturday at La Jolla, I wasn't paying attention and had the drag tightened when I was getting ready to gaff, then a couple big flops and I was at the heartbreak hotel.

I haven't fished Dana Point since that contest in the rain/ hail/lightning storm.

Matt, it sure was fun hunting the flat white meat with you, but don't tell anyone I spent three hours trying to catch bait (with only one smelt to show)

. Sure, plenty of giant Greenbacks, 11" Smelt, Croakers, and schools of tiny Anchovies that had no interest in the sabiki, but few and far between mini-macks and Sardines. You kicked my a$$ on making bait, but my shark could have eaten your cuda

...I'm sticking to La Jolla

.

That being said, it's awesome that fellow kayak angler stuffed our tank with lively Sardines (Yani and co.).....we had a shot, and what else can you ask for?
