Went fishing last Sat and water temp was 64 at Dana Point. I looked at surf reports and wind and tides were coming in from the north so definitely cooler water temps which totally sucks as I was hoping for fishing into October seeing I just got into kayak fishing.

A couple of weeks ago the water was still 70 so it looks like the Humboldt current is bringing cold water down again. I don't know what this will do to the big fish like yellow tail and tuna but I think we still should be able to catch rock fish

Today my Lowrance in the water transducer was reading 70.4 at 6am and got up to 72.3 later after the sun had been up for awhile.

When we go to the dock on Saturday morning, the long range boats had just gotten in and were unloading their catch. They had huge bluefin, but I'm guessing that they were much farther south than where the local boats were going.

Probably fishing SCI and the 43. That's where the big fish have been for the past 5-7 weeks now.

Water dropped to 64 at Dana this Sunday, 8 degree drop since last week. These big temp swings are not making things easy.

Looks like conditions, as predicted (), are slipping back to a more neutral state.
