I fished La Jolla from the yak this morning and found this little 11.5#er mixed in with some bait in 80ft west of the two high rises.
I had donated my bait to the bonies and dogs, and was out there soaking the sabiki and throwing a 3 oz kroc at anything that popped on the surface. The fish bit on a blind cast into some fluttering bait.....it's a great feeling when the monotony of casting and grinding 100 times ends abruptly and the rod tip ends up bent and in the water
A few others were taken at around 7:30 when I got mine, including some on the 1/2 day boats.
