Linda Mar

Went with my son; last minute thing so we left the yak and threw from shore. We caught a TON of nothing!We went up a Montara and didn't get bit there either. While at Linda mar we was about 5/6 kayakers so the big question is. where is there report? I will say that I was regretting not packing up the yak when we saw how flat it was out there today.

no keepers today, only underlings and sharks biting through leaders.

You had an awesome trip the other day, congrats!! I went by HMB on the way home and checked the launch ramp (and the cleaning station). There were lots of long fins and I saw 1 Long end of a thresher tail. Hoping to hitch a ride for some albi's this week!

Slow Day:

Met up with Freddie, Mooch, Alien, Mendohead and Kingfisher.

Got three Mackerel at once and had a big take down on the first two.  One cut the 30 lb mono and Freddie said it was probably a shark.  The second one was shredded but didn't stick anything.  The third got a ling that was too close for me to keep cuz I didn't have a rule with me.  After that I even had a hard time making more bait.  Freddie said he caught a big shark that he tried to haul in for a picture but let it go after it almost pulled him in.  Water was pretty calm, easy launch and landing but the wind came up after noon.

Thanks for the reports and picture Doug.

Sounds like a carbon copy of July 4th at LM.

I picked up 3 macks immediately coming past the breakers, and had a nice take down on the first one about 30 minutes later. It bit soft and I eased it line for as long as I could stand, and enjoyed to runs and the beginning notes of a sleigh ride before it let go. The head of the mack came up chewed off just below the gil covers, so I guess I must not have been patient enough... 

There was also about a 7ft shark brought to the boat (I'm sorry, I haven't gotten all the names to all the handles yet, so I can't say who caught it), and Kingfisher thought from the description it was probably a soupfin.

That was it for me for the day besides a couple of small black RF I got on my sabiki while trying to make more bait.

This was my first time fishing for stripers on live bait, and I was there the day "everyone" got theirs. I had my chance, but blew it on a couple of nice bites. Didn't find the right touch I guess, but hungrier than ever to get back out there and catch something.

I trolled all over the cove hoping for a striper or a WSB to bite....instead, I caught a couple of these (caught and released)

That was Freddie's shark.  He said it was about 7 ft. and was bronze, like a soup fin.

Mooch really did paddle around.  Every time I tried to spot him he was paddling circles around me in the distance.  Wonder how many miles he tallied yesterday.

Colm was kind enough to huk-me-up with a green back after I lost all hope on trolling....so I slow trolled and drifted and still got no love. I was fishing on top of some boiling bait but still no sign of da big fish I tried casting out a hair raiser every now and then but no luck either. But I did manage to get a brief huk-up when when Fred lost a fish (unidentified) and I immediately cast my hairraiser right next to him and got the hit....it pulled my line for a few seconds and it was gone - lost my lucky lure to an unknown  

I also managed to snag a sardine with the Hairaiser before I lost it....

It was good to get out with the boys. The action was all mackrel and sardines for me. Fun fun fun!...
It was my first time out at Linda Mar and can't wait to try it again. Hope the fish will meet me there

This is all i caught on camera. Mendohead with his stringer of rock fish!

good going mendohead

Alex - good to see you out there!!

HAVE A GREAT WEDDING      !!!

I hooked into three assumed sharks, line screaming out, then snap.  Steel Leader I would have brought a couple in.
