Started around 6:30 am below the Bacara in near decent conditions. The water temperature was a bit chilly at 58 degrees and there was a bit of a swell. My day started off my catching a small sculpin on the 3 inch Big Hammer - first for me - whoopie! The fish weren't cooperating at all. Bryan was sticking to the cranks and I was sticking to the swimbaits for nothing. After working the shallow area for a while I started venturing a bit deeper. The entire time there were lots of dolphins and birds working all over the beach. Once I got out to about 15 feet I found out why. Thick, thick, thick sardines but it seemed like only the dolphins and birds were the ones doing the dining. Later I went back shallow. Bryan had caught a Kelpfish on a 4 inch Clear Red Big Hammer and a short halibut on the crankbait. I started dragging the 3 inch Mackerel Big Hammer around in about 7 feet of water and finally picked up a decent fish at 24 inches. Stuck around a little longer for nothing.
