La Jolla 10/29 AMs - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Slept till 6:00AM. Got it all wrong, thought that was going to be 5:00AM old time. Yeah right.

No swell, easy launch.

Some downhill current. Bait was though. I scraped 3 jumbo smelt and 5-6 spanish right in the kelp… I would get to “fly” only one of those smelt. Other 2 flew out of my bait tank. Literally.

I rode NE wind down the kelp line. Kind of winterish out there. With some fog, even Halloween-ish.

Hooked up with Jasmin at ¾. Slow for both. A sculpin and short ling (iron), and a bone on the surface is all we connected with.

It was really nice after 10:00ish. The wind died.

Mostly worked lower column, lotta iron. Nothing.

Lots of floating eal grass, pain.

Amazingly clear. I was looking at my salas 50ft below.

Deep clear blue nothing blues continues.

Yeah - at the beach, big thick school of something was chillin’ in the breakers.

Reminded me of cipol, down from Adriatic. Couldn’t really get a good look at it. Got some pics tho.

What kind of fish is it? Good to eat (ok, out of the reserve)?
