La Jolla 10/27 Report - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Launched at LJ on Saturday 10/27 with Brian from OEX. He had brought with him a bunch of mussels that he got at Mission Beach to do some fishing for Sheephead. A few others launched around the same time looking for yellowtail. Turns out we were the fortunate ones.

Surf was small and it was an easy launch. Lots of clouds in the sky and a bit of fog. Light rain showers moved in later in the morning. We spent the morning until noon around the kelp beds feeding mussels to the fish on the bottom. Even after what seemed like thousands of mussels, I still can't get the hang of keeping that stuff on a small hook. One little tap tap and the stuff would be gone.

Fortunately, I'm happy to report that we were both able to get our limits of Sheephead. This is my first time out that I've actually caught something worth eating so it was a banner day for me.

Yak fishing is fun! And I didn't even lose a rod in the surf. . .even better. Here's a picture of my humble catch (sorry no 30#rs) - still these were good eats yesterday evening
