$20 is the current price for a kayak scoop, 1/2 scoop for pbers is $35.

I launched this morning at around 6:00. The line at the bait barge was long, so I opted to go without.

I paddled out to the headlands and worked this area from the rocks to the red buoy for no action at all. On the way back in I caught and released my only fish of the day, a 12 inch sand bass. It hit a white bucktail jig with a single plastic gray curly tail.

Bummer about the slow day but heck you were out there. I tried to load up last night but looked up and saw almost full moon. That and my sore back was enough to skip it till my back is 100% Thanks for report. Did you not try to make bait or see other boats trying? Its been so slow in OC for some time now.

I did not try to make bait but saw several larger boats attempting to do so. I did not see anyone succeed.

I didn't make it out today either. Did you get a water temp? I think it just got too warm too fast. We may need a good upwelling to bring life back to the area.

Dam $20? Np was $10... plus tip of course
