Scouting Report - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

dsafety · 06-20-2009, 07:13 PM

We are a week away from the MLPA Fundraising Tournament in La Jolla. This forum has been spooky quiet lately when it comes to reports about the action, (or lack of action), in the kelp beds. Is everyone keeping their exploits quiet in order to gain some sort of an advantage next Saturday?

I say that this is fine. It is a competition after all. On the other hand, it would really be nice if some of the experts would throw a bone or two to the many rookies, (like me), for whom this event will be their first tournament. So, if you are in a generous mood, please drop a few hints to the masses.

Speaking of the masses, we are up to about 85 official registrants for the fundraiser. We expect a bunch of last minute entrants this week and there will surely be a few people, who will show up the day of the event with check in hand.

We hoped for 100 boats. It looks very promising that we will reach that goal. Can we dare to dream a bit and wish for 150?

See you on the water.

Bob,

Haven't you heard? There are no fish in LJ, populations depleted, kelp diminished, at least according to the MLPA findings....

From me personally, thanks for your help in all this, can't believe it's your first tourney (translation = you'll get big fish honors), and look forward to meeting ya...

Well Tman I don't know about all that but LJ has been dead for about 5 weeks. Breezing WSB is about it. On and off cuda. Hali's inside the kelp...if you work it hard. No YT this week and no reason to think they'll be around next week either. Threshers are in at the pencil buoy and early AM calcs are always around the kelp. But who wants to get up early and rig for calcs? Kind of a self-defeating prophecy. 100 yaks on LJ? Can't wait to see that.
