At 1:04:50 that dead greenback is a sure sign of Yellowtail in the area. Sometimes they are not hungry but their predator instincts make then attack a flylined mac but not swallow it, so there is no line run. The mackerel is dead or dying and has No cuts or even missing any scales. Have had it happen many, many times over the years fishing La Jolla. Sealions, Dolphins, Calicos leave big cut marks or steal the whole Mac (because they have teeth, Yellowtail do not have teeth) . That WSB was a Toad!
Appreciate you going thru your arsenal during the intro…gives perspective. I have that same Okuma Reel, I love it. I know a lot of us love going thru our gear on a random day or the day/night before a fishing sesh. Great glimpse of your fish cave & how you’re rigged up!
Heres a fun fact Mike. Back in 1982 i used to cliff jump there in La Jolla the big patch of grass by the shell shop with the inside stairs to the water. Was fun and dumb back then. 😆 Love your channel and i live in Utah now. Be safe always, Dan
Hello Mikey, and all you great fishn folks watching. We just tuned in. Watching from the beginning. Thanks for posting Mikey. Troll hard! Tight Lines. Kimfish
I just got a hoddoo skiff. Ive never launched La Jolla, but would love to go with you so I can learn the ropes. If you are interested? Id cover your gas and stuff for the day!
I've fished socal since 1968 back in the day it was phenomenal fishing compared to now there were white sea bass everywhere but la Jolla was usually slow back then !! San Clemente was a hot spot great show Mikey to bad no luck
Striped Bass are here in Oceanside in large numbers if you ever want to give it a go… Just to get that bait a little deeper use a 1/2 or 1/4 ounce slide sinker on your leader, let it hit the hook, nose hook your bait like you do…keeps it natural and away from the birds
Hey Mikey I watch you all the time. Always GREAT CONTENT! We gotta get you out on Justin's boat in Long Beach my man! He is crushing it at the island and he goes live for the all-day fish bite on Starlink. It is epic out there and he is a great Captain and CA Guide. I am in SD as well and I head up there for his boat. He just came back with 50 pounds of meat on the deck!
Jealous...stuck up here in Oregon, going out in the Old Town for halibut and Lings this weekend! Going to get a Solo Skiff soon I hope, hard to find up here. Good vid as always.
just getting my 21' Sea Ray walk around close to done being remodeled and thought maybe we could go out when it is done. Let me know if you're interested. I'm down on the baha peninsula just south of Ensanada Baha Mexico.
Dude you want quality fish get out of the open ocean. Go out at mission jetty head to point Loma kelp beds. Get your ass in the kelp and cast up the lines of kelp. Scampi rubber with a rubber shirt at the head. No one goes into kelp beds everybody's scared like dummies. I used to put a razor kelp cutter on my motor. Get out of the open ocean. Get in the kelp beds. The kelp is lined up and you have casting lanes. Get it together dude.
Aww, thanks for the Shoutout Mikey. Much love brother! 🙏

That has to be every bit of 55lbs! Awesome to see you guys out there fishing with the basics - nothing fancy, just hard work and dedication.
Dude! I could watch your videos all day! Don’t stop. You rock.

Yo I’d love to get on some striped with you
Dig it Mikey! I hope for your success
Dope intro. Keep your family close. Your blessed
Mikey, can we talk more about the 80s XR you have in your garage?
My PB Yellowtail was on a dropper loop Mac near the bottom (but not on bottom). 4 oz. weight, 48 lbs. Keep up the good work Mikey!

The wrong Dolphin were biting! You never give up! Looking super fishy out there. That was a rough 2nd day launch. Troll Hard, stay safe.
That's it bait catching video 😮

Awesome stuff bro
That’s a sick ass ghost !!
Miss fishing off lajolla but brown trout rainbows cutthroat up clorado
Great content, what your range in with that Solo skiff setup?
Was hoping you'd get towed back to shore by a 50 plus wsb 😊
Cool
are you catching that bait with dry hooks?
I was wondering where you got your map and map book?

How's the Brandon Hayward book, Mikey?
The paddle kayaks are much better as far as not scaring the big fish , The Outboard motors are noisey
Salami Macs = California White Sea Bass!
This trip is 22-30 days!
