Farewell San Simeon North 5/27

Hooked up with SackYak (Etienne) to fish the soon to be closed area north of San Simeon. Lauched at 6:15 AM through 1-2 ft surf and paddled 3 miles NW in search of deep water structure. Stopped and fished the kelp and Etienne hooked the first vermillion. Things were slow inshore so headed out to 100-120 FOW about 2 miles offshore and picked up some assorted rockfish mostly vermillion with Etienne hooking a big one. Hooked 2 underlings (19", 23")  . Headed in around 10:30 with enough fish for dinner. Etienne certainly had more luck than I but a good day of fishing and a nice day on the water. Used to fish this area when Virg's ran trips out of San Simeon many years ago. Was a nice way to say goodbye. Etienne, thanks for the company and Apple pie. See you at HMB. Dogpound sorry we missed the hookup will try again in August.
