11/27 Deep Rocks

I'd be careful, Larry---there might be a line of anglers waiting on the beach come Sunday .

Just curious, have you bothered tanking up with live-squid lately and hitting those same stones? Much like your soft plastic, not setting the hook technique (to target the larger rockfish)---I would think using the whole, live squid would target the keepers rather than 6" nibblers, too.

Not to mention, I hear other, larger species like to eat live-squid as well .

You are right Josh - but I enjoy the company - I've never seen another
kayaker out there. Its lonely , and its a big area to fish.

Couldn't find my rockfish article online which you are referring to, but yes
fishing whole squid is the ticket or better yet a whole squid on a big plastic
and swing only when you feel the right !THUMP! .

I'm confident that the new moon will have the squirts spawning, and I'm
actually calling for a full tanker blitz on the 5th or 6th or 7th at the cyn.

We'll see.

While I realize there'll be more tidal movement on those days, I wouldn't expect a "full tanker blitz". In fact, I'd bet against it, with heavy odds to whomever wants to take that bet. Any takers?

Here's my question to you: Why would there be a "full tanker blitz" on those days---when there's squid, for miles, wrapping around the entire point? From the canyon to Crystal Pier---and beyond in both directions. You can make live-squid---all day long for Pete's sake---in the same spots that have been holding squid, for months now! I've found full-blown, middle of the day squid floats, out in the deeper spots (300' of water), too.

Good luck to everyone sitting on that same bed, in front of the condo; you're going to need it .

If there were a lineup of yaks launching/landing at the rock, I'd grab a sixer of sculpin IPA and a video camera... just to really enjoy the ensuing carnage and barrels!!!
