Way to get pops-in-law out...that's the best. Perfect anywhere conditions this weekend.

I thought that might be you outside... I launched around 9 with a friend and worked the inside for a few green backs (they were a little sabiki shy but a 2 in castmaster at the end worked for me on the slow troll)... also found some of those larger smelties.

Nice job on the diversity, plastics kill it some times... perfect day out there for sure... too bad the yellows weren't home this time!

These days its hard to say what I love more, no surf and fishing north county... or good surf and barrels in mex.

That's the great thing... when there are waves, we get barrels... when it's flat, we fish. How bad can it be??? My own dad fished with me last year and caught a few, too. So both are now in the mix. Even better, Niko is now 11 and has the bug... all we need now is a tandem (had to leave mine in Hawaii... too much to ship).

The crazy thing was that when we passed the kelp going back in, there was bait EVERYWHERE!!!

All kinds and all sizes... couldn't believe it. I'm almost thinking evening session next time... easy bait, bounce-ball, a Pacifico ballena and sunset.

Oh yeah, I did go over the YT spot and picked up some big marks on the bottom... unfortunately nobody home this time.

I surf w your Grandpa B at pipes from time to time..... we should fish sometime

Anytime... we have the Tres Generaciones out there (G'pa, me, and my son). Yeah... he's a little more "in his element" on the waves, but I think there's a YT in his future this summer!

Cool.....my son's still a few years away, but my dad is still holding it down in the water as well. Ive spear fished Nor County for years, but have kayaked mainly in LJ in hopes of taking down a larger model

in the yak. In retrospect I should have fished closer to home, I KNOW Id have more to show for it! Ill ping you next time I fish or hoop in the area

Best,
Josh

Superbowl Sunday, my buddy had a party (lives on 3rd & D)... my buddy JJ (visiting from LA) swam out looking for

and ended up plucking this tasty little morsel with his 3-prong.
