Late report.
Took the kayak out with the 8-weight fly rod in Alamitos Bay Thursday late morning-ish. Did lots of paddling and casting to no avail. Was just about to give it up when suddenly I was surrounded by bait boils. Never experienced anything quite like that, bait boils in a bay. So I switched to an olive/white clouser and started casting to the boils the best I could.
....and after a bit of trying something grabbed the fly but good - which turned out to be a fun little WSB, only my third one ever (one of the other two was earlier this year in the back bay Newport, and the other last year from the beach in LBC, all on clousers). Great way to beat the skunk.
