This video documents all the work I put into catching a yellowtail fish off my Solo Skiff in October of 2020. The journey starts on October 12th when I launch my Solo Skiff from La Jolla shores to try to find live bait (preferably green back mackerel) and then slow troll the edges of the La Jolla kelp with my TLD 20 fishing reel loaded with 80lb spectra (braided line) connected to a swivel with a 25lb floor carbon leader attached to that with a 2/0 ringed circle hook. After I was given bait by a kayak fisherman I lost t to Calico bass and seals. As I headed in back to the launch I spotted some bait boils and was able to catch a handful of mackerel to be able to use for lobster bait.
The following day 10/13/2020 I went to Mission Bay Ski Beach to go hoop netting for lobster. I dropped my 5 primer hoop nets inside mission bay and then drove the Solo Skiff out front and dropped my Shimano Flat Fall lure with a piece of squid on each assist hook to the bottom and was able to catch several rockfish (tree, chili pepper, olive, and sculpin) before making my way back in as the sun went down. I pulled my hoop nets and managed 2 legal lobsters that I kept for processing and freezing to enjoy with my family for the upcoming holidays.
On 10/14/2020 I launched from Dan Landing Mission bay and made my way out to La Jolla. I ran into a boat that gave me all of their live bait left (sardines from the bait barge). I trolled all the sardines through the fleet of boats fishing in La Jolla and landed 5 bonito but lost 2 yellowtail. I then completed my first drone flight from the Solo Skiff on the water and landed it successfully before making my way back to Dana Landing.
On 10/15/2020 I went back out to La Jolla in hopes of yellowtail but I had no luck and didn't fish long because I was meeting some fellow Solo Skiff fisherman at San Diego bay that evening for Lobster hooping.
On 10/16/2020 I went back to San Diego bay because I lost a lobster hoop net the night before and was greeted by thick fog. I made my way out to the bait barge and never found my hoop net but was able to load up on some mackerel see a shovel nose shark.
On 10/18/2020 I launched from Dana Landing Mission Bay again and fished La Jolla afternoon and evening. I caught 2 greenback mackerel to troll for live bait but lost 1 to a seal and had the other one crushed by a yellowtail. At sunset Ifly my DJI Mavic Mini drone while I posed on my Solo Skiff in front of La Jolla and trolled the waters during sunset.
Finally on 10/21/2020 I Iaunched my Solo Skiff once again from DanaLanding Mission Bay. I was given good luck by my friend John (Small Boat Club San Diego) who hooked me up with a sticker and wished me luck. I made my way out to La Jolla and only caught 1 big greenback mackerel to use for bait. The seals were so bad this day one ripped a mackerel off of my sabiki. I made my way out to the area I wanted and was greeted by the New Seaforth fishing charter who chummed the area and got the life going. The New Seaforth left and I threw out the 1 mackerel I had and got bit shortly after. I landed the yellowtail and put it on ice.
On 10/23/2020 I drove the cooler with ice and the yellowtail up to San Onofre State Beach where I filleted it on a table on the beach and we all enjoyed a sushi party.
