LJ Reds and almost Ling 8/12 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Lots of people out on Saturday, I stayed away from the crowd until I got limits of rockfish and almost had my first lingcod but he shook the hook at the surface. I brought a friend out in my spare kayak, poor guy was sick and puking the whole time so he headed in early and hung out on the beach. Then headed towards the NW corner with a 6" mac on the flyline... I still haven't gotten a bite on my flylined mac... There were a ton of boats and kayaks out but still cant figure out if its just my setup or luck. I'm using 65lb braid with a 50lb flouro topshot, #4hook and 2oz sliding egg sinker to get him down a bit... am I missing something? Maybe I just need to put more time in as that's where I figure out something new everyday. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
