LJ 5/12/07 AMs

Since I was apparently the only kayaker fishing La Jolla today, here’s my report.

That 10-15kt morning wind from yesterday’s forecast was no show.

Easy launch over 1ft-ers real early before 4:00am. One by one, 20 greenies in the tank in about ½ hour.

Water 61ish. Mostly greenish, visibility 10ft and under. I only saw that brownish water inside of the reserve.

I gave a couple of greenies a ride all the way to the NW corner and back. One great kayak fishing master once said "there's not such a thing as too much bait in the water"... I'm having 2nd toughts about that one. The amount of bait present at LJ these days is just insane.

Found some calicos interested in my 5” rubber close to the NW corner – that was it for me. Counterplated with the idea to eat them, but decided not to... As Greeks are eating spotties, I figured another Balkan representative has to offset the damage... Here's a pic of one pretty calico surviver that hit 11" greenie



The biggest excitement was seeing a YT cook up the water on some small bait as I was packing up my stuff before the preserve edge. Fired off a jig, no interest.

Lousy timing on re-entry, but managed to surf one bigger way and stay up when it crumbled on me.

Good seeing ya’ all.
