Had a great day on the jetty! Low tide was 12:30. I hit the jetty around 11:30 to start hiking out. The conditions were perfect—haven't had rock traction like that in a long time. It took 20-25 minutes to hop-out past the fog horn; versus the 45-50 minutes I set aside for wet conditions.
The bite was on most of the day. I started fishing around 12:15, using small jigs and swim baits. My buddy Jordan joined me from 1:00-3:00. By the time he got there I had caught and released 6-8 small black rockfish. Upon his arrival I caught and released my personal biggest cabezon (photo one)—it fought extremely well. Jordan caught 8-10 black rockfish and a kelp greenling before he left. He retained three very nice rockfish (released the rest).
The catching continued after he left. I headed in at 5:30 with my 12 fish bottomfish aggregate limit: eight black rockfish, three kelp greenling, and a rock greenling (photo two). One of the kelp greenling was my personal biggest-- two PRs in one day! In addition I released 14-16 small-medium sized rockfish, a kelp greenling, and the cabezon. It was a beautiful, blissful day full of action!
