It was a day of shoulda's. Should have gone out the day before when Mike caught some nice fish at the Rockpile. Should have headed out where Russ fished and caught yellows off of paddies. Instead, we started toward the Rockpile, found a paddy off of S.Kelp and hooked two yellows. Landed one, and gave one as a sacrifice to the sea lions at the gaff! It took him 30 minutes to eat it...we watched as he tossed it around just 100 yards from us. At the RP things were slow, one here, one there. Anyway, we ended up at the N. end of the Middle Grounds 3 more hook ups lost to sea lions but one BlueFin landed. First one for the Fire Escape. Whoppie...sort of.
