A red tide in La Jolla is brewing...

Just when I was starting to have some
fun with the new jig-stick, the slightest
change in the water temp has brought on
my worst fears. Some spots of tea colored
water through the reserve extending to
the east side of the squid grounds.

Well not exactly hell.................:sifone:

Nice one...

I think Josh just used that picture as a visual hes not saying that is a current picture of the Red Tide in LJ.

Smells fishy to me:cheers1::cheers1: no pun intended!

Maybe the water is too cold for a red tide? Maybe not....

???
 

Does anyone know the difference between red tide and just some dirty water???? It seems over the past couple of years that any dirty water that flows into our area is labled "red tide" but is it really??? I can't believe that all dirty water is red tide....thoughts???

sometimes it's just off color but many times we do get a real red tide with rusty water and glow in the night phosphorescence, usually in the spring there is a bloom once the water hits ~60. Good thing about it in La Jolla is that is is usually patchy because of all the water moving in and out of the area more than other spots---many other areas (like north county) it can just camp out and sit for weeks...

Ya one of the coolest things is to go down to the beach when there is a full on red tide and watch the phosphorescence light up the waves.

O and red tide or not im going fishing on friday:reel::biggrinjester::wsb:
at the very least i can have a few brews with some good peeps:cheers1:

Been here for barely a month (if even that long) and his first post to boot.:rolleyes:

Tell us Josh, do you think it is possible to catch fish with conditions such as they are.......?

Well, kinda shitty first post...but looked like BS to me. I'm over on Baytubers, you can find some of my posts there. I would like to add a little value on BWE though since I have been fishing LJ more often than usual lately.

Thanks for noticing...

A red tide was brewing in La Jolla...
 

But, it passed with the swift morning current a few minutes after I slid my game clip through her gills.

If it wasn't for the left over "facial hair February" I would have some serious triple chin here :).

Very nice fish bro. I had a feeling that you were going to pull a rabbit out of a hat. :you_rock:

damn!

Soooo, fish can be caught in "red tide":rolleyes: Or one can create their own red tide as Josh did......nice:wsb:and WTG.

wow

I guess the answer to that question is... GO FISH and get reeeel time!
