La Jolla 9/19 AM - Bonito
Launched around 530 - swell definitely picked up versus last few trips in August. Bait came easy, but even the greenbacks were small, no bigger than the jack mackerel or sardines.
Trolled out past the point for a while using a Carolina rig, something hit and ran hard with the line for 5 secs, but as soon as I engaged the lever line went slack.
~An hour later, same thing, but this time I managed to land it - didn't put up much of fight until he was at color, in fact had to pedal hard in addition to reeling just to keep the line tight.
