Going Off?

[Tandem Assassin]

Turned on the webcam this morning at 5:20 and there where 10-12 yaks setting up. I know it's unpopular to say - but it looks like the squid must be in and the bite must be starting to turn on.

Hope no one gets mad over this post

Unpopular to some, very popular to many others.
I saw a post from over the weekend where somebody thanked another for passing off some live squid. Others have mentioned squid being around for months.
When the candy is around the fish often play, though, you can't tell by most reports.

......and look at the stats for another explanation.

In a nutshell under 2ft surf through Friday when it jumps to 7ft late in the day. Saturday blown out, Sunday weird weather. Today and tomorrow are the days to go fishing squid or no squid...hell I almost went down there myself this morning.

Sasha, I don't participate on this site because I don't fish San Diego. So I have nothing to offer and nothing to gain by reading. I just enjoy reading about the fine fish the San Diego locals catch. Also there's too much hate for giving ones opinion.
I replied to this because in my opinion, exposing bites is harmful to our fishery.
You said there are plenty of fish to go around. If that were true, the state of California would not have imposed so many catch regulations and now closures.
It's just my opinion, no need for name calling and hating me for it.

I launched well before those 5:30 slackers and I can attest there were a few BSB caught today, but I did not see 1 kayaker pull in the right kind.

Going to La Jolla Friday --- Let me cross that off my list

Damn...I just got done doing the dishes, rubbing the wifes feet, and loading all my junk, and now you're telling me this info is a week old?

This website sucks!!

No name calling here, but there's a slight smell of MLPA in the air, to me.
You admit you don't participate, fish our waters, or have anything to offer. Why post here at all? Oh, yeah, you enjoy reading about the fine fish the locals catch.
Regulations have been around for decades, both commercial and sport, that IS what keeps many species plentiful, i.e. WSB.
Just because someone posts a recent report or bite, doesn't mean this "exposing bites" is going to be harmful to the fishery. Anglers must still abide by size and quantity limits, which is why the regulations are in place, to keep the fishery healthy. New regs happen all the time, and should to correct imbalances as they occur. We don't have to go mum, to keep it that way.

I'm pretty sure that fishing internet forums have changed the world of recreational fishing. Its no question that an increase in fishing pressure can be seen in response to fishing reports or candy rumors.

Fishing pressure is directly related to how many fish get caught... which in turn will have some affect on said fishery. If it is detrimental to the fishery is a whole different question.

More fish being killed might be harmful or beneficial, nobody really knows! I actually think removing big "homeguard" brood stock yellowtail might be beneficial in some ways (read up on the intermediate disturbance hypothesis) ... but I'm probably wrong!

Yet you read this post, and offered YOUR opinion.

Yet you offered all of us your hateful opinion; gee thanks!

No we don't hate you for it; hate is much to strong a word for people like you; and I save such words for people that I actually have some respect for, no matter how slight the respect may be. But you did make it clear that you feel exceptionally strongly in favor of the new MPA's, along with more and more regulation. And that YOU feel that our fisheries are so delicate that they could be very, very easily over fished by sport-fishermen that they need extreme protections; even though we have no endangered nor threatened fin fish along the Southern California coast. No we don't need to call you names to know what, nor who you are.

I was late getting there (8:30). Getting out there was as good as any other low wave day. There was enough bait around to put some in my bucket. Sometime into the day, the wind picked up and the waves started the gentle cycle. My GPS said I was drifting about a mile an hour and I had trouble keeping my bait down. If anyone else was out there, they experienced the same thing I did. That's my report for the day.

To follow on some of the other comments here... I call myself about as green as it gets. I've been out there more times than I care to count for the space in my freezer. I've brought one fish home in the year+ I've been going out. I have nothing to offer in advice that isn't already seeded throughout the search function. My post count is low because I don't have anything viable to offer. Do I lurk? You betcha. There is some top notch advice here in black and white if you can read. The guys/gals here are all smiles on the water and will give you the bait out of their livewell if you are having trouble getting your own. Asking advice on the water for me has always been positive and some day it will click and I might be able to show a picture of something that can go in my freezer besides macs. Now, where did my tissues go...

[sasha]

First off i would like to Apologize to you monkeyfishturds
as i didnt try to call you names but did miss read your name handle.
As for over fishing.. How many kayakers on here actualy go out and come back with lets say Tuna or White sea bass or Halibut??? Yes i know some of you do but most of us go out spend the time on the water and come back with mostly large bait fish and call it for the day. Everyonce in a while one of us would actualy get something worth while to take a pic off. How many times you read about people that let the fish go as got a full freezer and they are out there just to enjoy being on the water???
I guess it comes down to some people that are willing to share and some who dont... For me i were always willing to share some of my knowledge and not just for fishing.

Holey Shite. I thought everyone knew there are squid, wsb, and yt in La jolla. As this sport gets more popular and focussed reports are posted later and later or posted like a monthly report. A while back I remember guys getting flack for posting pictures with thier backs to the land so that the viewers could see the back ground and tell where the fish was caught. Now current info or reports are treated the same way. I can tell when squid are in LJ by the by the lack of reports. A "defening Silence" so to speak. Post or don't post and make what you will of the reports, or lack, as you will, but don't get down on those who do choose to post current reports. They are posted in the "kayak fishing reports" forum after all. Mike

All it really means is that 12 other kooks got a fishing report or a saw web cam and that somehow got them motivated to get off their asses and go fishing. You should do the same, and don't worry about making rhetorical posts! Make some good friends on the water instead, they will help you much more than the launch cam!

Just don't let them tie your knots!!!!
