The weekend of 6/19-20 I'm devoting to looking for the local WSB. My interest was peaked a week ago when my Bro In-law call me last Sunday night and told me I left la Jolla to soon.
The WSB moved in on them around 3 pm while they were finishing up with the calicos. Armed with only 20 pound line they didn't stand a chance. They lost 6 big fish over the next 3 hours.
They re-tooled on Tuesday and took along a buddy with a spear gun.
Diver gets his WSB and the rod and reel guys come up empty.
Thursday, same story. Diver gets his and the boys go 0 for 2.
Bro In-law and I hit the kelp early (4:30am)on Saturday. We make the first set in the dark and when the sun comes up we move to the location they fished all week. We weren't on the new spot 30 minutes when a guy fishing near the first spot nails a #40 WSB.
Around 7 am the calicos go on the chew big time and ease our pain for being in the right place at the wrong time, again. For the next hour it was every bait and every cast of the swimbait put you in tough with a 3-5 pound calico.
Next trip will be the evening bite on Sunday.
