LJ bait difficulties - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

ccacher1 · 08-31-2015, 02:50 PM

I've been reading that quite a few people, including myself, have been having a hard time making bait in La Jolla lately. A week ago I worked along the kelp line all the way out and back and didn't manage to snag any bait with my sabiki even those I saw stuff on the surface as well as on my fish finder. My question is... are most people putting cuts of squid on their sabiki or is there another strategy that is working for people?

I was dropping my sabiki all the way down and jigging it up slowly, through what appeared to be bait on my fish finder, but no luck last week. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and tight lines.
