Nice day on Monterey Bay

Launched off the beach at MBK at 9am, fished the kelp beds in front of Cannery Row and the aquarium. Sunny from the start, winds were ok. Beautiful day out there. Did well on the usual rockfish, plus one pretty nice Ling. Had some fun with a school of Jacksmelt towards the end of the day as well. All fish released. Can't complain!

Looks like you had an awesome day out there. Did you get that lingcod with the fly rod?  Thx for the report.

great pics! thanks for the report. those are some nice looking olives. Ya didnt feel like chasing the seabass??????? nothing like a beautiful day on the water

olives are great sport, must be a blast on the flyrod.  What type of fly?

Thanks for the report and pictures bro. Glad to hear you had a nice day on the water.

Now thats doing it PURE...paddle/flyrod  Hell Yes Great report with pics...nice fish bro

All fish released. Can't complain!

Nice!  Great contrast to a recent discussion on another board about how many limits guys can legally have in their freezers...   

Looks like a great day.

Sum qualit olives there! Nice. On the long rod too. Very nice. I call em the "saltwater smallies" Using a clouser type bug I assume?

Thanks guys! Yep, the Olives came on either a craft-fur clouser minnow (size 4), or a 1/0 chart/white half & half (half clouser, half deceiver). Ling was on the spinning rod.

I love Olives too - definitely seem to be the most willing fighters outside of a Ling, and beautiful fish..."saltwater smallies"! Haha, nice

Wtg on catching some olives on the fly, would love to watch ya in action someday Thanks for sharing this cool report with us all!

Wow what camera are you using those photos are nice. Thanks for the report.  Andy

I love the way your report ended. All fish released and can't complain......thanks for the clicks and for being a releaser. 

Nice report and catch. Good to see the fly rod on board. WTTM.  Scott
