3 hours of tossing plastic produced just one bite, but I'm not complaining.
Hit on a blue smelt swimbait in the La Jolla kelp. I think I'll drop my previous calico entry and replace it with this one. The fish was very slim and only weighed 6.9 pounds on my hand held scale.
The fish was released unharmed after a short rest in the bait tank.
