La Jolla 1/7/14

[Southman]

Took the long ride down the 5. Only my 2nd time at La Jolla. Easy launch with no surf and the weather was great. I was targeting YT and halibut, but ended up with a really mixed bag of sheepshead, tiny halibuts, lizard fish, calicos, sculpin and more macs than one would want. CFR'd 'em all. All caught on fresh/frozen squid on the dropper.

Tried flylining the macs but no one wanted to play. A couple of whales tightened my old sphincter muscle as they came up pretty close. Saw 2 other kayakers fishing. All in all a great day on the water.
