Arrived at the Stairs a little before 6 to a fleet of white Fish n' Dives. I also have a white FnD, so it was a bit surreal when you're half a sleep.
Anyway, launched and tried to make bait in the kelp, no go. Moved outside the kelp line for 2 sandies, 2 calicos, a rockfish and a Johnny bass. It slowed down so I'm moved out to 80ft and drifted into 55ft. I kept metering lots of fish, so I sent my bait rig back down to see if they'd bite. Turned out to be schools of big whitefish and perch, thought I was fishing Catalina for a minute. Got a big hit on the squid, turned out to be a pinback. Got tired of catching fish on the baitrig so I started dragging a FT on the bottom by the kelp and got a 28" flattie. Off the water by noon. Breezy in the morning, but the sun stuck it's head out and the wind died. Summer must be hear if I can catch a 'but on the plastic lol.
Also saw Spike and the gang at Corral on my way home.
