Cyclops is Progressing

[Tim524]

 I wanted to fish on Sunday since Janie had plans but wasn't sure about launching cause my kids don't drive yet and it's a chore by myself. As I was thinking, my buddy calls me out of the blue and so I asked him if he wanted to tag along, he was thrilled to be asked since he just rolled his Yak in La Jolla a few days prior We met up at South Shores at 6:30 am and off we went

My buddy Richard got a few Macks on the Sabiki and sent one down, instantly got slammed


As I was taking the pic I noticed it was barely hooked, before I could say anything it shook off and escaped Not sure it was legal anyway

Myles and I got some Dinks in the mix and then he gets a nice Red (first for him)




We got some nice grade White fish and a few other varieties including a Sculpin




Richard was impressed with the comfort of the boat and the Trolling Motor with Spot Lock was impressive too. It kept us on the Waypoint , no problem



All in all it was a fun day. Actually got some '' Real'' blood on the deck and the new Kill Bag got put to the test as well  Taco Tuesday is near

Right on Tim

Spot lock baby!

Great read and pics Tim!  Keep saving things on your sonar so you always have that spot saved.  You never know when you're going to want to check it out when all other spots fail.  I have like 600 waypoints in just a few years on my sonar.

It's really good to see another report from you Tim, keep 'em coming

 Thanks guys, feels good to get out there finally And yes I plan on saving the waypoints as the structure in LJ is abundant and spread out.

I was not able to ID this fish from my chart, any ideas ??

Picture is not clear when I zoom in, but looks like a kelp rockfish.

Looks like a nice time with variety. Spotlock is a game changer. ABing kelp and brown rockfishes, I agree with kelp.
