Out here, it's not as simple as "Hey man, here is how we fish" Like I told you on the water, it depends on what species of fish you want to target. Once you figure out what species you want to target, there are another 30 factors that come into play with catching that special I'm in no way an expert on fishing La Jolla, but I'll tell you the best way to learn to catch fish is spend time on the water. You're not going to get a lot of straight answers from people. Not because people are protecting the information but because no body has one right answer for you. I would suggest finding a few good buddies that are new or somewhat experienced with the lay of the land. Spend a lot of time on the water trying different things and figure out what works. Don't get discouraged either. It's not easy to put the big ones in your boat. Spend time in the bay too, looking for bass and halibut. Getting used to your rig and your boat will make things easier. You don't think about it at first but kayak fishing is kind of a pain in the ass. You have lines and leashes and gear and water and paddles and all this stuff to manage, the bay will be a safe place to get your sea butt ready. Hope this helps.

Oh and I was one of 6-7 kayaks out there, and no where was anyone "picking off YT like crazy" I was out from 530am until 3pm, and didn't see one fork brought to the surface.
You might have seen people catching barracuda, they have a yellow tail as well. |

Thanks, Ya it does. I was thinking about it and googling La Jolla and reading more. Im just going to start going once a week, The fish i am targeting are wsb and Yt. As well i was watching everyone and the gear everyone is using, i need bigger rods, the most i have is 20lb test. resarching different types of rigs. I just am impatient right now i guess, over excited and really want to hook up. But thats why they call it fishing and not catching right.

The best answer is ... spending time on the water .....
There is also some great information in these forums..... It took me one year on the water, and yesterday it paid off |
