LJ then SD Bay 10/24 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Shiloh and I woke up and fished La Jolla. Launched around 7:30 since there was a pretty good ocean front when we woke up, so we took our time and had breakfast. Stayed overcast most of the morning. Fished north of the pier the entire time. Bait was pretty easy to make and the waters were generally flat. I caught 2 leopard sharks always exciting for a second until you realize what you have. Shiloh caught a couple small bass and basically that was that, caught more bait before we left for hooping at San Diego Bay in the evening.

Picture of one of the leapord sharks, looks more like a sea snake.... not a great pic.

After going home and cleaning up we re-set up for lobster hooping. We hooped from 7:45 - 12:30. Was not productive, really have not figured this hooping thing out and have starting to question whether it is worth being tired all the next day. We got plenty of little stingrays and then finally 1 legal lobster also the only lobster we got all evening. It was like a lake on the water last night.

Is it worth it or not? I don't know but we did have one hell of a lunch after waking up at noon today
