The birds were about the only things that I could get to bite. I caught my personal best cormorant. A real trophy. That poor bird got the hook in the beak and the mac was hanging on the line, outside of its mouth. Two pelicans beat the ever-lovin' crap out of it as I tried to get it to the yak. I don't know if they were going for the mac or trying to kill the cormorant. By the time I got him to the yak he was super pissed and wanted to take out his frustration on me. After a few vicious stabs from his beak I got him under control and removed the hook. As soon as I released him the pelicans started after my other bait. Stupid birds.

I was out for under 5 hours. Black Sea Bass on my first mac in 90', around 100#. Got the hook back and an easy release-fish decompressed on his own. Had another nice pickup in shallower near the kelp, but the fish wedged my slider in a rock. Finished the day w/a T-Pup. Still tons of life, w/the Sea Lions preferring to feed along side the porpoise over ambushing our baits. I too fed the pelican.

But I forgot, there are no fish in La Jolla. If you don't show up next week to the hearing, then what we consider a tough day now will be the best we can hope for in the future.
