La Jolla 9-2-2022 on the Solo Skiff another off-shore Pelagic search

[FISH11]

Another trip out in search of Tuna, Yellowtail and Dorados on Friday Sept. 2. This time I intended to concentrate on West of LJ. As I made my way out, I noticed the water was about 4 degrees colder than last Monday. Search for birds and other signs of life. There was very little and so I started heading a little more North. Ended up heading to the North Nine and saw a few other boat heading that way. When I got there after trying other areas that had bait, I never found any signs of Tuna or Dorados swimming around. Found a large number of boats int he spot I had marked on my FF on a couple other trips last years. Could not make out anybody landing some fish, but there were some throwing jigs and many using bait. I trolled the surrounding areas while trying to find better FF marks. Did not find individual large fish marks, just bait. Trolled and stopped to throw jigs but did not get any reactions. Did not want to just sit there in a parking lot with chunk bait. I decided to keep trolling and searching, but headed back early to get back and beat the heavy Friday traffic of a Holliday weekend. I will search again soon. Have to keep an eye on the weather forecast. When I checked that night the Fish Counts, the Daily Double had been on a Full day Charter and had 20 anglers and had landed 34 Dorados. Tight Lines!
