Red Tide is thick

I fished LJ on the skiff today, the Red Tide is thick. This was worse than last week.

The water was mud brown all the way from S. La Jolla to the NW corner, and out to 220 ft. of water.

All I could find was this little guy, far away from LJ.
A quick pic, hook removal and successful release.
The rest of the fish have left town - for now.

I headed North for a while and found a little bit of clean water, but by 2 PM it was turning brown as well.

On the way home to Dana Landing Launch I tried South LJ again but it was still bad water.
---------------------------
The schools of bait were absent today. I found some directly in the kelp, and a small school up north, but it was scarce.

The red tide was terrible yesterday. Could not find any blue water except for in the reserve. Paddled to about 375 ft at nw corner and couldn't find any clean water. Talked to a diver who said it sucked too.

I was completely on the bottom slow drifting the sand in "the halibut spot" with a 6" greenie.

A complete up and down fight - You just never know what will come up.

I sure hope you were able to get this guy back to the bottom. I watched another angler leave an 80#+ GBSB flapping on the surface for the gulls to peck at. Hopefully you are more enlightened than that moron.

Usually when someone mentions a 'successful release', its not referring to just getting the hook out of the BSB's mouth.

Don't really think you need to worry about Billy.... I'm just wondering why the 80# BSB was not rescued by yourself or another????

Are you kidding!?!? He said there were insane, vicious, rabid gulls there! They'll peck your eye out kid. Its why i can't catch fish...I actually run away from the birds. NO bsb is worth that shit. Right move on letting the thing float away and die slowly. Good of you to call someone out on your first post too...

welcome to the forum...its all in jest and is more the result of me being pissed b/c I had to work today and couldn't fish.

No tomato soup out there...more like hawaiian punch...the red kind, not the green.

Great way to start things off on the right foot. Welcome to to forums and very informative first post.

Question is, what did YOU do to help the "BSB flapping on the surface" that you watched. I hope you lectured/showed those angles as to the proper way to release the BSB that I assume you took the time to send back down properly.
