Left at 6 this morning and made my way slowly to the islands after picking up an awsome half scoop. Fog was very bad this morning and took awhile to clear up.
Started at the light house and put 2 yellows on the boat in the first 20 minutes on the rapalas. I stayed in that area untill about noon picking away at the yellows and big Bonito to round out my limit all on rapalas. The calicos also bit very well on the Lee side of south island on the plastics. The water color was better then last week but still not great.
On my way back I stopped by the middle grounds and got into a wide open surface iron bite. The area was loaded with fish and the water was actually pretty clean. I dumped all my bait and the yellows came up and stuck around for awhile. I was able to stick 5 on the iron(released) before the sea lions shut it down. They were brutal at south island so be prepared.
Water temp was 65 to 68 and off colored but looks to be improving. Good luck and stay safe.
