Lj 12/9 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Phishphood · 12-09-2016, 04:07 PM

It was slow. Super slow. Couldn't make bait but saw plenty of macs. Gulls were constantly working red crab. I cpr'd one big fat sculpin but that was it. Lost something small on the kastmaster that's killing me since it could have been am mac.. oh well. Nice being on the water.

Lots of salad floating around and there was growing kelp on the surface and plenty sub surface

As I was loading up, cdfw enforcement truck rolled up then left. No one got out.

Hit water before daylight, no macs, ended up going out to that big rockpile or whatever it is out in 230' of water. Caught RFD (Rockfish For Dinner) then headed back trolling a drop shot needle fish or whatever its called hoping for halibut. No joy on that, bot saw a huge bloom of the tuna crab (i think), drop my sabiki and caught 4 Big Macs for lobster bait on one try then they were gone.
One thing I love about fishing the Big Water is that you can almost always catch something, and the variety is amazing! I caught a total of 14 fish, including 7 different kinds.
So I said it was slow.....I only saw one fellow yakker in the morning and one more on the way back in at about 2pm. YT fishing was slow, but did fine on the bringing home dinner side. It was an excellent decompression day!

No shit. I have never seen them at the launch before, yet I've been spot checked half a dozen times when I finish a dive, which speaks to how much of the dept's resources have been dedicated to ab and lobster poaching.

I caught on to a nice soupfin bite yesterday

. Still fun to get hooked up after a long time off the water!
