4/1 Opener South LJ - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

blackcloud9 · 04-01-2007, 11:21 PM

Opening day for Lingcod today. Water temp was 63 inside, 61 out
deeper. Fished 1 - 5 pm. Light breeze, t-shirt weather, saw no other kayakers.

Somehow I managed to find my personal best, 34 inches and 11 lbs. Lost
another good one too, burning drag on 30 lb. then he just let go. Landed
about 12 fish mostly in the 23 to 25 inch range, all on plastics, near the
bottom.

Also caught a log barracuda on the iron, they came up crashing all around
the kayak at one point. Fishing 70 -80 feet deep in South La Jolla.

Landed in 2 to 8' surf at Big Rock. Luckily I timed it for the 2' part.
