Missing Kayak Fisherman in la Jolla 5-5-10 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

trob · 05-05-2010, 10:29 PM

Cousin (lives on mt soledad) just called saying theres a bunch of search boats in la jolla and said that a kayak fisherman "that was fishing the kelp beds" was reported missing today. Anyone hear about this?

just talked with my cousin again, because i couldnt find a report. He said he saw a bunch of blue lights flashing so he turned on his VHF and the coast guard was issuing a report over the air and trying to get any boats in the area to keep an eye out. Cant figure out how to post the recording he emailed to me. 12ft white fishing kayak, left the beach at 3, supposed to be back at 6 if i heard the recording correctly
