Looking for a mentor this winter break!
I have some time off starting next weekend and I was hoping to go out to La Jolla to catch a yellowtail! Is it still possible this late? If not what are some good bigger target species I should go for in late December/ early January
|
It is pretty safe to say that there are yellows caught every month of the year off La Jolla. My experience is that there are bigger ones to be had in the fall and winter months. I am mainly a jig fisherman and always do better in these months. Surprised no one has stepped up to offer to help you with the basics but you will find folks at the launch around sunrise who will generally answer questions for you. Good luck.

La Jolla is a bit out of my range or I would take you out. No harm in meeting people at the launch. I'm sure if you brought a few extra beers you could ask someone to tag along with out there. To state the obvious, keep it safe. Make sure all your safety gear is in order. When starting out, there a lot of factors to consider and get used to. Stick to some harbor fishing until you feel comfortable. If you already have some open water experience get out there and put the time in. You can target Yellowtail, Halibu or White Seabass as far as the bigger game. Not the most productive months but people still catch em. Good Luck |
PM Deamon and tell him you are bringing Filipino lumpias out. He'll be out there even before you hit the send button.

I don't know jack about catching big fish right now, but I know how to fish (in theory) so if you want that information or just company I'll be launching tomorrow morning at LJS. Hopefully out on the water another day or two this month as well.

I have fished the point loma kelp a bunch of times launching from dana landing. And I am totally with you, can be a pain to get back. Add wind with very fast south current. I actually broke a rudder one time on my PA 14 and was even more of a PITA. The fishing spot can be productive though. I have caught halibut, yellowtail and also bsb around the area you were fishing. Good alternative if Lj surf is a little big, but that doesnt happen much. |
