Still can't believe the barracuda didn't make a strong showing this year....??? What's up with that?!

I'm think'n this might be the winter the big ass squids might show up...I wouldn't mind screw'n around with those for awhile....

In '98 I had a trip where we caught YF, BF, Bigeye, albacore, dorado and a marlin. At the 302! In terms of the 'hoo and marlin this year was better for sure. But the tuna bite wasnt quite as diverse this season.

I have had a great year! This being my first year kayak fishing. So glad I got into this at the beginning of the year. I have learned so much in this short time. Looking forward to the rest of this year and next.

The yft really hung out in the bight and bit tbis year. Those fish are usually all show and rarely go up inside Cat but this year they bit all over. So many wfo solo stops from oside to cat to the rigs off LongBeach. The wahoo was unprecedented. There was a week or so there where 1 or 2 hoo were getting weighed a day at oside and dana.

12/28/97 rossman and I were about 2 miles off Diablo Canyon watching 50# albacore cartwheel out of the water. I dont know what was going on at the local banks off oc that year I was living in SD but it was good S.

I expected a lot of schoolie rat yt along the kelp this summer but that never really happened. They stayed offshore. There was a good bite on bigger yt from LJ to Malibu this year and I picked up a couple new local PBs from surprising places. Nice big fish.

Now its just a fading memory w water at 66 and dropping.

I fished SI for the flattys, always brought home a few
Sculpin too. LJ is fun just requires a little more prep and
Time which I don't always have. Anyone want to target some halibut I'm down this weekend. Bug diving Sunday too if anyone wants to get in, swell should be chill and not too much serge. Tight lines guys.
