hopefully the winds will lay down before Wed

Change of plans. Ill be launching out of Santa Cruz harbour Tues, dawnish. Bayside and Chartle's numbers out of Santa Cruz were better today. Bite is in about 250 ft of water, about a 5 - 6 mile paddle from the harbour, definetly doable, but still a long ass paddle.

see you there, Adam

Great report & pics, wish I went.

Opted to troll many miles in cold, wet, foggy Morro Bay conditions for salmon. Good temps, no bait but the fish are there. Sometimes I wish I had a motor.

Very funny post. I once had a male sea lion charge right at me as I was just gaffing a yellowtail. I lifted the fish just before this massive animal glided only a few inches under the yak. I nearly soiled myself.

Heres how you fix those holes - get a sodering iron and some extra kayak fiberglass material. Call the company who made your kayak, they should be able to send you some scrapes. Then melt the materail in small chunks at a time. Melt 3 plus times to build up the missing fiberglass. Its pretty easy.

Good luck, Adam

Congragulations on that FAT FLATTIE!

you were wise to get that beast into your hatch right away. When they go bezerk with all their power, they can do DAMAGE.

Last fall, I caught the same size butt, got him on the game pin, took a huge sigh of relief and then...

while i was holding the game pin, the fish went absolutely whacko and actually unhooked the steal latch. he nearly slipped back into the water but i got lucky and subdued him with my knife

enjoy your tacos, Adam
