Good morning BOCA,
In spite of the coastal eddie, dropping pressure, south winds, and green/brown water I decided to fish yesterday. La Jolla kelp produces a fat goose egg for us. Made a few drifts off of T.P. for a couple raked baits. Funny that the butts can tear your sardines to shreds without getting hooked even with a trap hook. TP produced no fish for us so we moved to an area just off of Blacks beach to hide a little from the south wind. Lots of bait and meter marks here. First drop yielded a 10 lb halibut. A few raked baits later something substancially bigger and stronger inhales my sardine. After 5 minutes a large bat ray appears (released of course). That was it for that place. Back to the bay where we made a few drifts for a few more raked baits and a beautiful 18" croaker. I could not tell if it was a juvenile WSB or a large corvina? Looked more like a WSB with the faint black bars and the blueish back. Anyways it went back to fight another day.
