One year ago today was bendo city out there.....not today!

Had to at least try my luck out there this morning...
I launched at 5 through some chest high tough-to-time sets. I paddled over to Scripps pier for some bait. In between sets at the pier, it was doubles and triples of perfect greens and browns on the sabiki.....just had to time it so you didn't get caught by set waves
With bait made quite quickly I boogied out to the 'spot' from last year which was holdin massive amounts of squid at the time to rummage around with a Candy Catcher....no go on the squid makage.
Water feeling around 60, and a green 10-15ft vis.
Set up drifts with the offshore wind along the northern lobster bouys/canyon edge. A pair of Dirk Diggler greenbacks on the bottom, and iron I did toss.
I got intense zing and a miss at what my friend Arne always referred to as Pat's spot, but I think we'll rename it Arne's spot for this month since he's caught two beauty seabass outta there in his last two outtings. Teeth marks were dangerously seabassesque and reached all the way up to the eyes of the bait--that's as close as I came to anything serious.
Boneys and turds all on the yoyo to add a little fun to the morning. Buttass cold but had the entire place all to myself. Kept a critically wounded boney for a panko encusted appetizer tonight.
The big boy hit a deadsticked iron while i was getting my bait rig sorted out----a couple minutes into the fight i had a double going---in opposite directions---felt like my yak was gonna split in half. by far my favorite day out in La Jolla.
Forever!)
