YT on the bottom 7/28 in LJ - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Mootaineer · 07-29-2018, 02:47 PM

Live in Arizona and have been out to La Jolla twice this summer, first in early June for a few days, and then again about three weeks ago for a few days. Both times the fishing was poor, especially on the most recent trip. Some Calicos, but not much else. Years past encountered bonito, swarms of rat yellowtail with an occasional big one, lots of small wsb, and so many barracuda we stopped using spoons. Fishery seems off this year.

Nice Fish! I caught my first yellow last year out west in that area on bottom on a reverse dropper loop. I think when the water gets too warm the fish tend to stay down deeper. I have been on a long range trip and saw that first hand in 80 degree water with the tuna on top and the yellowtail down on the bottom.

I am gonna try my luck next Fri morning!
