9/19 report LJ
The fishing was fantastic!!! I launched around 8:30 after meeting this nice guy named Roger and chit chatting with him for about 20 mins. Went straight west in 1-2 footers at 10 second intervals. Almost perfectly dry on my way out. Took me about 45 minutes to make my first and only bait ( Spanish mack ). Tried for another hour to make bait but it was futile. So decide to troll around in front of the condo and leave my sabiki in the water.
Long story short: Left around 2 and didn't catch anything except for that Spanish Mack. Good luck to anyone that goes out. |

Good talking to you Toni. Maybe next time the results will be better.

thanks for the report.
Heard making bait was tough the past 2 weeks...at least straight out west. Also that catching was on the very slow side. |

What's going on?
What happened to the jewel? Thanks for adventuring out and posting report. Can't imagine spending 100$ in gas right now, only to experience a desert wasteland.

Thanks for reporting. Does anyone ever fish for bait before sunrise? On the East Coast, the primary bait(big-eyed scad) stops feeding at sunrise. Maybe one would have better luck locating and catching bait if they launched during hours of darkness.

I've had better luck in deeper water. 170ft+ was the magic zone for me this past month. Sand bass was the common suspect but signs on the meter was night and day over deeper water. Good luck!

Usually when fishing La Jolla, I like to be on the water and past the reserve line about an hour before sunrise. Maybe it's the sabikis I'm using, but lately I haven't been getting much bait in the dark. And when I do, it's mostly been Spanish mac, not greenbacks. Just been weird down there the past couple trips!
