LAUNCHED OUT OF OSIDE AROUND 630 AND GOT SOME GOOD BAIT FROM THE DOCK. SET COURSE FOR THE 209 IN HOPES OF FINDING SOME PADDY'S FOR SOME GOOD YELLOWTAIL ACTION. PRETTY SNOTTY ON THE WAY OUT WATER TEMP WAS AROUND 65 UNTIL WE GOT 18 MILES OUT AND THEN IT WENT STAIGHT UP TO 67.5 TO 68. GOOD TEMP BREAK SO WE TROLLED RAPALA ON ONE SIDE FEATHER ON THE OTHER FOR NOTHING. NOT ONE SMALL OR BIG PADDYU ALL DAY. GOT TO THE 209 AND WATER DROPPED BACKED TO 65-66 DEGREES SO WE HEADED TO 181. TROLLED ALL THE WAY AND WATER STAYED CALLED SO WE PICKED UP AND B-LINED IT FOR THE CARLSBAD KELP. WE CAME ACROSS A BIG POD OF DOLPHIN AND BIRDS CRASHING SO WE DID A SIMULATED TUNA STOP IN FRONT OF THEM AND THREW BAIT
. NOTHING ON THE METER AND NO GO SO OFF TO THE KELP WE WENT. WE KNEW NOTHING WOULD BE WITH UNDER THOSE DOLPHIN BUT DAMN IT FELT GOOD GOING THROUGH THE MOTION. ANYWAY HIT THE KELP AROUND 130 AND HAD A WFO BARACUDA BITE. THEY HIT EVERYTHING WE THROUGH AT THEM EVEN GULP SHRIMP. I PUT A DROPPER LOOP DOWN ON THE BOTTOM WITH A PIECE OF FRESH DEAD AND 20 MIN LATER GOT PICKED UP HARD. WORKED THE FISH HARD FOR A GOOD 3 MIN AND THE FUCKING THING HEADED STRIAGHT FOR THE ANCHOR LINE PULLING LINE. I HAND 40 POUND P-LINE ON THERE AND IT STILL BRAOKE ME OFF.
SO PISSED. HARDEST PULL I'VE HAD ALL YEAR AND DIDNT EVEN GET TO SEE IT. WENT BACK TO THE CUDDAS TILL 500 AND HEADED BACK TO THE BARN.
