Tradition has it - that you will nail a huge yellowtail, or better on one of your first outings.

-So read up, and pack the proper equipment, and don't be shy asking for assistance on the water.

With a little help, of course

My advice: Follow Whiz Bang's lead. Maybe not his financial advice, but take advantage of the safest launch on the West Coast...with ridiculous fishing a mile from shore.

I love the bay, too..when it's windy or raining. Watch the weather closely and stop by the La Jolla launch if you're not too familiar with it. There's even a camera to save a trip. It's just like the bay, but with GIANT fish. You can even fish for Bass if you want it to seem more like the bay...just sayin'

Or jump start your addiction by hiring the guy above the Dark Horse. The best there is in the guiding business- no joke. My wife got me an outing with him as a bday gift a year ago and with his help I have taken my fishing to a new level.

Unlike so many of the doo-dads you will buy to try to catch fish, you actually get a tangible return from hiring him that will grow with each outing on the H20....

Best of luck!

Believe me fellas I want to be in La Jolla with big fish, that's the goal, but honestly I don't think I'm ready. I'm a big guy, tipping the scales at 320#, and I need to get my balance stable before I make the plunge. I am actually planning to get to LJ in the next couple of weeks (no gear) and practice my launch and landings and maybe I'll fall out a few time to see if I can haul myself back up.

You will see me out there very soon.

This is so true....Josh is the man. By the way Josh, I still have credit on the books, right?
