Sonoma County, California

Epic day, caught around 40 fish. PB lingcod 26”. PB vermillion rock fish around 18”. Overall breakdown was approximately 20 black rock fish, 10 blues, 8 gophers, a couple lingcod (1 blue one!), and the vermillion. Kept 4 fish for the family’s dinner. Most of the morning was glassy (good conditions for my 10-foot non-ocean Walmart kayak), but the swell was about 4-5 feet with 10 second interval, so I was feeling that for awhile afterward. Such a beautiful area, and this section of Highway 1 is so iconic. It’s cool that Kastking is doing the giveaway for the Kapstan Elite 3000. I got the 4000 before this trip and was using it today. Also used it to reel in that 30 inch striper last week. So far it’s been a great reel! #CatchKing
