Tuesday LJ

[Lipripper92592]

Headed out of La Jolla on Tuesday morning, not another yakker in site. Swell was predicted around 4 feet, made the launch and headed out into mixed swell. Early in the day the current was pushing hard north, laying down the kelp beds, its switched around noon and pushed directly into shore, still keeping the paddies down. I jigged up some macks and sent one down to 60 feet on the dropper and fly lined some dead squid off the back. We metered some nice marks, but couldn't get anything to hit. We covered quiet a bit of water, well north of the kelp beds and along the kelp bed edges, my legs are worked over. I'm doing something wrong as this is about my 10th time out and I'm not hooking up, but I have to admit every time I've been out, I haven't seen anybody else hooking up either. (I say that to retain some pride in my abilities). The wind picked up around 1:30 and some white caps were forming so we headed in with the skunk on our backs. Maybe next time. I think I saw Jim Sammons doing a photo or video shoot at the launch and was hoping to see a nice biscuit on deck, but I don't think he headed out. Till next time!
