The bioluminescence was everywhere a week ago in MB, but on friday night it was gone from the bay????? The rain???

I will be going out to La Jolla on Tue AM to go fishing which is way more fun than hooping. Anyone need some company and want to show me where the YT are?

Yeah, if you ever wanted to mark the pipeline, just paddle out between the lines of bouys marking it right now. But I kind of like the traps, they seem to attract fish. In fact, there are bouy that have been set on previously unknown to me rock/kelp locations. I am definately gathering intel.

This past tuesday LJ waters were deep blue,at least 30' vis. Today LJ (north and south) is very,very sick! Worse I've seen in 12 years. Get well soon

Fish have to eat too, red tide or no... the surface iron and surface trolling are not the only weapons at your disposal... the yo-yo, while a bit early for the season might prove to be a valuable weapon as it works the water column below the algea blooms... I have it on good authority that it has worked in the last three days...

silverbullet · 10-14-2011, 10:32 AM

Did make for a cool light show last night though... watching bait balls chased by seals. Almost like sitting on top of a lightning storm. Could see huge bait balls swarming and rolling off of children's pool last night. Saw threshers and what had to be WSB chasing or running as we peddled through.

Have seen red tide and florescent before but never watched the LJ light show like that!

all fished out at LJ... 1 billion shorts and eels under my seat.
