Long run for nada 10/15 la Jolla - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

fishja · 10-16-2015, 03:57 PM

Hope this helps...

Me and Geno launched at light. Lots of bait at kelp. Spanish with greenies mixed in. Paddled around the corner and found greenies. Heard of some fish in deeper water so we head to 300'. I flylined a greenie and Geno a Spanish. No takers but a few sea lions for Geno!

No fish out deep for us. On the return I metered a nice school. Thought for sure we were gonna get bit but no takers. Even dropped the blue and white tady on their head several times.

Here is what it looked like...

Be safe with the weather this weekend could be a fun one!

What kinda of meter are you running ? Elite 5 chirp? How is the down imaging working for you ? Well , maybe next time you will get them . You know the saying . Bad day of fishing , beats a good day working or lolly gagging .

I've played around with the water temp and have never got it to work properly... Settings are all in F. No clue why it doesn't work...

This I just a guess, but make sure you have the correct ducer selected. Use the exact model number not just the generic 50/200khz. I know mine didn't display temp at all with the wrong one selected.
