La Jolla 9/7 Friday update.... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

seaquinn · 09-07-2012, 07:14 PM

absolutely beautiful day. Launched at 5:30, and saw a big shooting star in pre-dawn, paddled out with Daniel in the dark and we both saw it, thought a good omen.

Then plenty of squid for a couple hours... but absolutely nobody landed any fish other than mackerel. Seriously, I didn't see one YT, WSB, or Halibut.... just incredibly sloooooow, once again. One PB was there all night and had no fish. Maybe 15-20 yaks, 3-5 PB's.

I fished 5:30am to 1:30 pm, and saw nothing caught by anyone. One guy had a fight, and lost it in the kelp after 45 minutes.

On the other hand, some small whales, and jumping little molas (30-50 pounds), and just lots cool stuff, as the water was smooooooth.

But no fish in sight.

I was out there also. Bait was easy, getting something to bite it was hard. I found out that what I thought were whales were actually Risso's dolphin. They don't have a beak like other dolphin, and grow 12 to 13 feet in length. It was the first time I've seen one. They came right by me. It was a good day for a paddle.

Thanks for the current report. The webcam has been showing beautiful weather lately. That's always a plus.
