11/27 Deep Rocks

Got a limit of rockfish today when the current cooperated, around
165'-180' deep on both plastics and bait. Kinda fun. Lots of life
with some big marks - heard splashes I think there were threshers
slapping around ...

Nice, I love catching those. Keep in mind all to check your DFG regulations. Lingcod are off limits after November 30 and all other Rock fish are off limits after December 31 in American waters. If you go into Mexican water you're O.K. for all these. I haven't rockfished all this year, I'm bummed, I really like making Fish and Chips with those.

I think I can speak for both Larry and myself. We really get tired of replies to our fishing posts full of comments regarding our impeccable grooming, fashion sense and 007 good looks.

Nice cod!

The taco machine!

I'd be careful, Larry---there might be a line of anglers waiting on the beach come Sunday .

Just curious, have you bothered tanking up with live-squid lately and hitting those same stones? Much like your soft plastic, not setting the hook technique (to target the larger rockfish)---I would think using the whole, live squid would target the keepers rather than 6" nibblers, too.

Not to mention, I hear other, larger species like to eat live-squid as well .

You are right Josh - but I enjoy the company - I've never seen another
kayaker out there. Its lonely , and its a big area to fish.

Couldn't find my rockfish article online which you are referring to, but yes
fishing whole squid is the ticket or better yet a whole squid on a big plastic
and swing only when you feel the right !THUMP! .

I'm confident that the new moon will have the squirts spawning, and I'm
actually calling for a full tanker blitz on the 5th or 6th or 7th at the cyn.

We'll see.

Sounds like Squid-Bite propaganda to me, Larry.

While I realize there'll be more tidal movement on those days, I wouldn't expect a "full tanker blitz". In fact, I'd bet against it, with heavy odds to whomever wants to take that bet. Any takers?

Here's my question to you: Why would there be a "full tanker blitz" on those days---when there's squid, for miles, wrapping around the entire point? From the canyon to Crystal Pier---and beyond in both directions. You can make live-squid---all day long for Pete's sake---in the same spots that have been holding squid, for months now! I've found full-blown, middle of the day squid floats, out in the deeper spots (300' of water), too.

Good luck to everyone sitting on that same bed, in front of the condo; you're going to need it .

If there were a lineup of yaks launching/landing at the rock, I'd grab a sixer of sculpin IPA and a video camera... just to really enjoy the ensuing carnage and barrels!!!

Big Rock in Jeopardy?

Yeah, BR is a terrific launch site -- second only to LJ Shores IMHO. There's an effort by enviros to include all or part of Windansea Beach in the proposed South La Jolla SMR. If successful, this could complicate its use by kayak fishermen when returning with fish. And, of course, surf fishermen could be completely screwed.

A less irrational northern border to that proposed no-take zone would be a few hundred feet south of Big Rock, meaning the cliff and wall known as "Pink Wall." The topography is distinct, with the area south being essentially impassable from Windansea.

Of course, the best solution is not to have any of the South LJ SMR, but it appears La Jolla is going to be getting a beat-down. Let's try to at least save Windansea's Big Rock from the MLPA juggernaut.
