SOLO SKIFF PROGRESS THREAD

[FISH11]

Just a little late post from 5-1 at LJ. Went on the usual weekly trip to La Jolla on the SOLO SKIFF in search of Yellowtail. Had spent the last 5 trips mostly trolling the Nomad DTX Minnow because of lack of live bait or just to be able to cover more water faster than while trolling a live Mac. Found a good area for bait and Calicos that produced the last three trips. The last trip I had hooked and lost a nice Yellowtail while trolling the Nomad DTX and just failed to maintain tension on the line and it head shook the lure off. Totally Operator Error. So this trip, I spent extra time in that area, but other then a bunch of large Macs and some Calicos there was nothing larger that came out to play. Then as has been the case lately the wind kicked up before noon and most boats headed home for a long rough trip back home. The Solo Skiff just eats up the wind chop.
