La Jolla Yellowtail

Well it’s been awhile since we have blogged, I went fishing with my friend Joe on his boat, the “Playin Hooky” in the La Jolla Kelp beds.   We were slow trolling sardines in 100ft of water.  We hooked 4 Yellows but only landed two.  The Kelp Cutter rig worked well cutting through the kelp with 65 lb Spectra Line with 30 lb Fluorocarbon leader.  The fish were 23 and 26 lbs, I got the bigger one.  Hoping to get on the water tomorrow for RockFish.
